Let's talk about why this scene is messed up. Like many other cop shows this frames folks asking for lawyers or warrants, aka their constitutional rights, as if they are already guilty.pic.twitter.com/BpBPADl4Ev

How many times have you heard TV cops use the phrase "lawyered up"? These moments are framing the cops as just doing their jobs defending "law and order" and if a suspect asks for a lawyer then they are "clearly guilty".

Police procedurals too often reinforce that the state and our laws are good and fair and just and that if we ever challenge this system then we must be guilty of a crime. But that's not a true reflection of reality and these harmful myths shape our cultural perspectives.

He felt however the plot needed him to feel in order to keep going. *Super* frustrating that, by the end, the show pretends that was an “arc”.
