I never expected Brooklyn 99 to deal with this topic so I was surprised while watching this episode, but they made this episode really special. I was really moved by the scene where Terry and Holt were sharing their thoughts for the racism they face/faced and it made me cry. I myself is not American so I might be less familiar with the social issues they face but the low-rated reviews here made me realize that this topic is still not being understood by some people. Is a black person walking on the street at night "unusual"? Unbelievable.

Round of applause to those who made this and hands up to Terry and Andre, theyre acting was outstanding. I hope ppl who aren't watching the series would at least watch this episode, was really worth it.

Brooklyn 99 is a comedy series and they don't usually deal with real world problems. Any regular viewer of the series will notice that this episode was a very special one, dealing with issues of racism. The episode's writers somehow managed to pull this tightrope walk off and I praise them for that. To send a meaningful message and still make it a comedy episode in the spirit of the series...

This episode reminded me of Brooklyn 99's greatest strength as a show - presenting equality and diversity in such a nuanced and casual way. Despite such a diverse cast, I have never seen one of them as a token character.

Seeing the two schools of thought from Holt and Terry's era intertwining for a better tomorrow was heart-warming. This was stellar writing and handled beautifully by the actors. Even portraying how non-black allies dealt with it i.e Rosa's anger, Jake and Amy's reassuring speech to the kids or even Gina's sarcasm highlights how we must stick together to eradicate and overcome hateful people.

To anyone saying a comedy show should not address these issues - you are part of the problem! There is more to comedy than one liners and gags, it's an expression of irony, hypocrisy and self-reflection which this episode did very well.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a show where goofy cops do goofy things and it usually ends up being pretty funny. Unfortunately for the show it is running during a very turbulent time for this country's attitude toward police. To NOT run this episode would have been a mistake, ignoring the harsh realities of a racially supercharged nation and continuing with glib cops skipping around while real cops routinely violate civil rights and freedoms. This episode needed to be made, to show audiences that the people making the show weren't completely ignorant of struggles with police that were absolutely defining the nation at the time with the rise of Black Lives Matter. This needed to be made to get back to getting away with cops freewheeling and acting like the world doesn't matter. So even if you didn't think this episode was funny (it wasn't) it had to happen. That being said, Terry Crews did an excellent job and the point, while a bit lightly touched on, landed.

I laugh at every single episode of the series, but not in this one. I Just contemplated how beautiful, important and sensitive the episode was. I just wanna say thank you for the whole series, but especially for that.
