I couldn't finish this episode. Regardless of this being a show, the awful inaccuracies, the systemic racism angle, overall, ridiculous. I really thought we were getting away with the narrative BS. To believe a flash mob or teens are going to make it into an NYPD precinct is one thing, to command all officers to not fire at suspects holding potentially deadly weapons, come on... Stop treating the audience like we're stupid.

I'm behind on season, hopefully the rest of 25 will be bright. I get most of these actors and actresses have their own personal beliefs, and that's great, but stop writing it into the show. Keep it just that, a show.

This is absolutely disgusting. A complete slap in the face to every single woman who has ever been r#ped. An absolute slap in the face to any woman who has ever been SA'd. This is lazy, horrible, garbage writing. No woman who has ever been through something like this gave a flying F what color/race/ethnicity their attacker was and even putting this into the conversation is down right gross. I honestly believe that Hollywood is run by a bunch of clowns living in a bubble completely out of touch with reality. This episode should have never been written. I can't believe this got past a single one of the women on staff...writers, directors, producers, actors. Everyone just said yes, the audience will love this! Ridiculous!! Since you have disrespected so many of your female viewers I hope your ratings tanks. I really hope people will find a new show to watch in this time slot. I for one won't be tuning in ever again!

I feel the writers could have done a way better job with this episode. I feel it highlighted how dangerous these views of "white guilt" and "ACAB" are. Showing how the individuals, specifically the lesbian couple responded to literal criminals vs the police is a very real reality as I've seen numerous leftist preach and defend this ideology and support criminal activity while dismissing this dangerous behavior using their ideology but I feel they could have had more discourse with all of SVU detectives and Captain Benson instead of excusing and minimizing the behavior shown in this episode. I understand the anger this episode brought as most logical level headed individuals would see how insane and dangerous these views are.

I wonder how many people get their info about our Criminal Justice system from this series? Will people now believe they must be sympathetic to the perpetrators, even of violent crimes? Why have women allowed this reasoning? Once again, women are the victims. They can no longer be accused of dressing seductively, or being where they shouldn't have been. Now, they are being manipulated into thinking that women who are raped can go through therapy to cope with the trauma. If the perpetrator is poor, young, uneducated or of a different culture, they must be spared, even from themselves. The actresses took the paycheck for this? NBC is probably proud of this episode. Sad.
