Smart of him to film. Glad he’s still alive.

Fuck the LAPD

ia to everything.

I always wondered how he felt about playing a cop on New Girl.

Like, I get it’s a comedy and they wouldn’t delve into the deep issues there, but it felt so...sad to see this sweet, silly man join the force and just sidestep all the nasty, racist, murderous shit associated with the LAPD.

True of Brooklyn 99, too. They touch on it a little more than New Girl did, but it's still pretty rare and mostly lighthearted.

[electric_lemur]

Yes!

I tried but I just couldn’t get into that show because they just treated it in such a lighthearted manner. It felt like they were pushing this big lie to cover up the evil that runs through the system.

Like no, cops are not fun. They’re 99 percent assholes. They treat citizens unfairly and will bend any rule to lock you up again and again. Traitors to their people.

(Okay, the second paragraph is pretty angry, but I’m angry.)

it was the worst plot/character decision on the show imo and they handled it poorly even in that episode where they lightly touch on how activists/other black people would perceive him. it makes me mad every time i rewatch it cause there was no reason to make him a cop, particularly with todays climate.

ACAB

glad he's okay and he's smart AF for filming

[sandstorm]

Racism is everywhere in this country, and being in California is like paying extra to deal with it from cops. ACAB, I'm glad he's okay.

Wooow. Not surprised but wooow. As sad as it is, him being famous probably saved his or his friend's life.

I feel so dead inside with hearing another incident like this and after Atatiana Jefferson I'm just...tired

[electric_lemur]

Atatiana...Jesus, just typing her name changed into all caps because I’ve been scream-typing her name. How sick can the world be.

He needs the death penalty.
