In the episode Bruce Gordon states the he was attacked by two young Black men. Didn't he know that Blacks NEVER commit crimes in the L.A. of Adam-12 or Dragnet. All the criminals ARE White. The one time they had a person described as Black it was actually a White man disguised as a Black man. There was one episode where Black activists were protesting the shooting of a young, Black militant who was shot by police after a gun battle.

I wouldn't over-generalize it. There are at least two other episodes that I can think of off the top of my head in which blacks were arrested. One is Pig is a Three-Letter Word (season 2) and the other is Citizen's Arrest (season 5). Oh, and I just thought of another episode, the one in which a boxer who Malloy arrested years ago, and who swore vengeance against him, tips off Malloy & Reed about an ambush.
