This is nauseating! What purpose does doing that storyline serve? It's not funny and it only makes ugly, uglier.

It's as if they are celebrating racism, doing this.

Whoever though of this was clearly looking for ratings.

The Chevy Chase as Mel Gibson thing sure was.

Have you seen the episode? How did it turn out?

L&O SVU has for years drawn inspiration from headlines. This is nothing new. They are all artists (writers, actors, directors, etc...) who see their world around them and interpret that into their art. What's the problem? I will wait and see how they do it. I will watch the episode and see what avenue they take it down. SVU has never been a unicorn and fairy-dust type of show. At times it has a victorious ending and at others it is tragic. But no matter the ending there is always a victim of a horrific crime. So out of the gate, in every single episode, there is tragedy. What's wrong with them taking on a real-world injustice?
