Well I mean you don't have to try very hard.

Drug dealers are a symptom not the root.

If this is your definition of heavy handed then I am not sure what they could have done. As it just being a thing makes it heavy handed.

You have demonstrated your woeful ignorance on all topics police so no need to continue.


It's a comedy show. It doesn't stop them from having a serious topic now and then. I think they showed you can easily have it both ways.

No offense but you both seem to have limited experience on the subject aside from the articles and news stories you read that support your own view.

No what they are saying is correct maybe you are a bit ignorant? I mean the corrupt nature of American police and the justice system in general is well documented.

You're being an idiot. The episode was clunky and badly-written, and mishandled the subject matter. It's okay for people to criticize things.

When people start doing that then cool, but that isn't what is happening here. I think thing is bad is not a criticism its just a statement. The only real criticism I have seen is that the kids stuff was kind of weirdly placed but a comedy show has to have some attempts at comedy in them. Which is what that part was for.

Tiny Brontosaurus overreacts about things, but it comes from a place of extreme woke-edness. It's not an insult to her for the most part. Racism is something that affects certain groups of people hard, and those it doesn't really effect keep saying poo poo like "okay, suuure, I get it but it's not that bad," and "maybe if you'd explain it to me one more time I'd finally understand it all," - as if it's not serious enough for them to do some legit research on the matter. It would probably feel very dismissive as a person and antagonistic after a while.

That doesn't really apply here as the episode dealt with it in about the best way it could. Hell so far the only real argument against is that it shouldn't because it's a sitcom. Which is an argument I guess but has nothing to do with the content here. I mean the episode at no point tries to lessen racism in any real way.

TB is just melting down to melt down.

You literally haven't been following the discussion for all your posts. The argument isn't that it shouldn't because it's a sitcom, it's that it didn't. It made a worthless, toothless token gesture. It applied its sitcom nature to a very serious topic which renders the topic weak and powerless instead of being the very powerful issue that it truly is.

The show lessened racism by compartmentalizing it and resolving it the way it did. Terry almost gets arrested for being black, oh well, sorry bud, boy howdy that sure is terrible but there's nothing we can do says all the other cops in the room, lol wut is racism says another cop. Sweetie, your dad experienced some terrible systemic racism from people in authority that you're definitely going to experience in a few years but don't worry it's okay. Sgt, you most likely rocked the boat too much and lost this opportunity at promotion and every other promotion in the future due to your complaint but it's cool that other cop got a meaningless warning, be happy you're changing the world. Now let's never mention any of this ever again.

What the gently caress are you talking about

Did you watch the episode

Like literally none of this happened. Plus you aren't even following this discussion correct. Just a complete failure.

Meltdowns abound I guess?

Now you are the one who is melting down. They made excellent reasoned points that I wouldn't mind talking about in the morning.

I know I am usually willing to give anything a pass for even trying, so it's very helpful we have someone willing to be critical as well as informative.

You don't seem to have offered anything helpful to the thread. Just to clarify, we're not talking about the latest episodes.

What are these points. I saw someone desperately trying to twist something in a shameful attempt to look woke while melting down but that is it.

Also no one has offered anything helpful really.

It's sad when they don't seem to have much to do for Rosa but Scully is consistently getting poo poo to do. Despite being a rather one note character.

The Fresh Prince where the most PSA of PSA episodes. They were corny and bad but they tried and I appreciate that.
