The Negotiator

As the FBI starts the final siege into the Chicago Police Building where Danny Roman and the hostages are held, Sabian and Roman evacuate and go to Niebaum's house. Roman searches for the taps that Niebaum had, implicating the officers. When he can't find them, Frost comes in and suggests to Roman there is a way out. Sabian shoots Roman and talks about being in on the scam. When Frost leaves the house, he sees that Hellman, Allen, and Argento (The three in on the scam with him) are being arrested. When being read his rights, Frost points the gun under his chin, to which he is shot in the shoulder and arrested. Roman knows Sabian bluffed him, being shot, and Roman is shortly thereafter reinstated as a police officer.

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, Frost comes out to tell everyone that Roman has been killed. We hear over the 2 way radio Sabian saying "Let's get you some help." Just before he says that, you can see in the background behind Frost that Sabian is already helping Roman out the door. Seconds later Sabian starts helping Roman out the door. (02:04:00)

Question: How did Danny not get charged for taking hostages? He is even reinstated back into the police force.

Answer: Given the department-wide conspiracy he uncovered it's clear the authorities were unwilling to prosecute him.
