file a less lethal

Hi guys,

Can you please help me with this situation?

Context: Police SWAT team is practising the assault entry into the closed room. Police officer, who played the bad guy, is secured and lying on the ground. One guy from that SWAT team is lying on him in order to hold him...That secured officer is making a joke...

Secured police officer: Huh, your breath is killing me, man.

SWAT team member: Sorry, my wife made an Cabbage Rolls.

Secured police officer: You want to file a less lethal report on those?

SWAT team member: Whoa, watch it.

I'm pretty sure that he was joking about the cooking skills of the wife of that SWAT team guy. But what did he say? What does the underlined sentence mean?

many thanks in advance

Best Regards

I'm not 100% sure about this, but...

I believe it should be "less-lethal report". "Less-lethal" is a police/legal term applied to weapons deliberately designed not to kill people, that can be used more "safely" to control violent offenders, rioters etc. I think the joke is that the bad-breath-inducing cabbage rolls ought to be classed as one of these weapons.
