Tel-Chai Nation

Breitbart's pointed to 3 television series that are now catering to social justice themes with anti-police messaging, and the biggest irony is that two of them are police dramas centered foremost on law enforcement officials, and produced by the notorious Dick Wolf:

Network TV shows including This Is Us, Law & Order: SVU, and Chicago PD have kicked off their new seasons with social justice-themed storylines that tout systemic racism and portray law enforcement in a negative light. Writers rooms around Hollywood are working hard to keep race top of mind after left-wing activists put pressure on the networks to change the way they portray black people and the police.

Hollywood took a knee and the results are now on full display. In the season 5 premiere of NBC’s This Is Us, the Black Lives Matter movement provokes an emotional epiphany in Randall Pearson (Sterling K. Brown), inspiring him to cut ties with his white therapist and to confront his white family members about their silence on race.

[...] White guilt also plays a role in the new season of SVU. In the season opener, Capt. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) gets a lesson from Internal Affairs, who inform her about certain cops who “never see themselves as racist but are in denial about their complicity in the systemic racism of the NYPD.”

[...] Anti-cop sentiment is also on display in Chicago PD. In the season 8 opener, Officer Kevin Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins) finds himself the target of a smear campaign by white cops, who try to frame him by planting heroin in his car, according to report from MRCNewsbusters. The frame-up is apparently revenge for Atwater’s decision last season to report on a white cop’s shooting of a black man.

There's at least a few more examples being brewed up, even as we speak. And as somebody who's long concluded that the L&O franchise is one of the worst things Wolf could ever come up with in his own PC-laden career, this only increases my disgust with his resume. Besides, as anybody who looks at his programs under a magnifying glass could tell you, this isn't really new to the L&O franchise at all. In the now canceled flagship series, the majority of stories followed a politically correct line even in its first half. And with the introduction of the SVU spinoff, things only got worse, with blame-the-women storylines prevailing in a number of episodes, and if it wasn't sexism the show was wallowing in, it was antisemitism. And I wouldn't be shocked if, despite what the above is arguing, there was/is racism against Blacks/Latinos/Asians in some stories too, just kept hidden more cunningly by the producers, with Wolf the most reprehensible among them. The producers of This Is Us are clearly a most reprehensible lot themselves as well, which is reason enough to tune out.
