The topic of police brutatlity made it to Black-ish last night and the twitter commentary was everything. From stories of personal encounters with police, to simple applause for the episode’s dynamic writing, the sitcom’s decision to get serious on such an emotional topic was something the audience was here for. ‘Black-ish’ Episode Inspired by Social Commentary on Police Brutality

The #Blackish episode re: protest & police violence is powerful, honest, and thoughtfully engages the topic. It’s a must see.
