When we last left off with The CW’s racist, anti-cop drama "61st Street," we had such a ridiculous amount of woke, hateful, liberal, ACAB/BLM propaganda that you would've thought it couldn’t get worse. But hoo boy, does it get worse! And we haven’t even gotten to the finale yet, which is Monday night.
As always, we watch so you don’t have to.
So, here’s a rundown on all the newest garbage being spewed by this awful show, which, with an abysmal 160,000 viewers (only 20,000 in the key 18-49 demo), is absolutely tanking in the ratings and coming in dead last in network rankings, we can only hope this will all soon come to an end for good.
In episode 5, “Two Truths and a Lie,” Officer Johnny Logan’s (Mark O’Brien) trial has begun for the murder of Jalil Watts (Marcus Hopkins-Turner). Everyone was shocked to find out black activist lawyer Franklin Roberts (Courtney B. Vance) is defending Logan, unaware the two are working together to uncover the evil corruption that’s in the entire Chicago Police Department (CPD).
When Franklin sees the video of the assault for the first time, he becomes furious with Logan for killing Jalil “over a song.” (Granted, the song was about only needing 12 shots to kill a cop and Jalil mimicked shooting Logan while saying, “12. You.” But, of course, that doesn’t justify assaulting or killing him.)
Franklin confronts Logan, and Logan expresses shame, asking what happened to him. Franklin tells him this country is racist and proclaims, “America happened to you, boy.”
In Episode 6, “Argue the Facts,” the prosecution makes its opening statement. It’s clear the show’s writers want everyone to believe that any debate about removing “bad apples” from police departments as a way to reform is a joke because Logan is not the only bad apple but is being set up to take the fall to cover up the corruption that’s in the entire department:
Franklin takes his turn next and angrily rants, “We’ve had enough of being told how the world looks by white people.”
In episode 7, “The Offer,” Franklin questions the bartender at the cop bar where the murder happened. Franklin argues the cops did “what cops do,” and covered up the murder for Logan. So, apparently, we’re to believe that cops stick together even when their fellow officer commits murder while off-duty just because he was drunk and angry. Right.
Franklin then declares Logan is, “the poster boy for police brutality, taking all the shots for a rotten, stinking racist pig of an organization.”
Geez! Tell us how you really feel, 61st Street.
Meanwhile, Norma (Andrene Ward-Hammond) is aware now that her boyfriend Phil (Jerod Haynes), who got her pregnant, is actually an undercover cop who’s married with children and is there to spy on her and her son Joshua (Bentley Green) for the police.
When another black cop, who had previously planted drugs in her apartment to frame her other son Moses (Tosin Cole), shows up at her door with a conscience and valuable information, he’s unaware that Phil is also a cop. He laments how difficult it is to be a black officer and claims he wouldn’t feel welcome in the cop bar, to which Norma remarks, “Nobody loves you. Nobody.”
The notion that black cops don’t feel comfortable or welcome with their fellow white officers and that their job is to help white supremacist officers frame and murder black people is absolutely ludicrous:
Sigh. Later, Franklin must switch cars with an old buddy so he can sneak Logan out of the courthouse to keep him safe from the police who are trying to kill him. His friend offers his support, complaining the police exist as “one giant web of complicity to keep the black man down.”
As Franklin drives Logan away, a group of protestors outside the courthouse are holding signs that say, “ACAB” and “Blue Lives Murder.”
Finally, there was another anti-white dig as Norma meets with a gang leader who wants to offer Joshua what he claims is a legit opportunity, and he tells her he’s “done with white people and what they do to us.”
So, they need segregation? Alrighty then. Yeah, this show is absolute trash.
Let’s hope tonight’s finale is the series, and not just the season, finale. After getting cancelled once, it’s looking likely a second cancellation is coming based on their dismal ratings, and deservedly so. Go woke, go broke.
