Iconic ‘Training Day’ Quotes

These Training Day quotes will give you an inside glimpse of the corrupt world of the L.A.

Police, as told by film director, Antoine Fuqua.

The film follows a rookie cop, Jake Hoyt, played by Ethan Hawke, who is assigned to learn from the experienced narcotics officer, Alonzo, played by Denzel Washington.

As it turns out, Alonzo isn’t as vetted as he seems.
