Police Brutality

I saw the episode with the two guys who were following Malloy and Reed, in their red Mustang, harassing them basically, trying to get something on them, so they can report them for Police brutality. That hits close to home doesn't it? I have no doubt with all that's been going on in the news for the past year concerning "the police shooting innocent young black men" is nothing more than these black leaders and politicians as well as the media, inciting strong emotions from the public.

Would you feel the media is promoting "strong emotions" if young white men were being shot by police? I doubt it.

"Well, I never!"
"I bet you did!"

No, because "young white men" are not the victim race.

It was more of a fledgling paparazzi masquerading as 'journalism for the people' sort of thing.

Actual police brutality was addressed a couple of other times, most noticeably in the final season episode "Excessive Force".

Is that the episode where Malloy gets a little rough with the child molester?

Regarding the original post:

Uh, yeah. And I'm sure the unarmed dead black men agree with you. "Yeah, we may look dead, we may feel dead, we may be six feet underground, but it's really just a media scam. People get so over-emotional about seeing their relative or neighbor lying there motionless in the street with six bullet holes in him."
