After in the city of Kenosh, Wisconsin, the police shot in the back of the African American Jacob Blake's African American, a new wave of protests was rising in support of the rights of black and against racist-minded law enforcement. In this regard, the image of the police in movies and television series again became an extremely relevant topic. The star of the Brooklyn 9-9 Police Comedy Andre Brogger the other day gave an interview with Entertainment Weekly, in which he stressed his desire to destroy the long-lasting myth that the cops could violate the law when they wake up.

Commenting on a "new challenge", which faced the eighth season of the show, Brogger said that the protests because of George Floyd's death had a deepest influence on the public perception of the police:

"This is a very difficult topic, but I think that you need to depict much more realistic. First of all, this applies to the inslace tradition that the police have the right to violate the law allegedly for the purposes of universal good. In fact, this is a myth that should be destroyed. "

Broger added to this that Brooklyn 9-9 will also focus on reality to fight the arbitrariness from the police. According to the actor, the series screenwriters are already working in this direction. We will remind, earlier it became known that the Showranner Daniel Gur rejected the prepared scenario of the eighth season in the light of the outbreak of anti-Russian protests.
