Racially Biased Here and There In Chicago
CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT — 2014 — PRIME FROM SEASON 1 TO SEASON 7, BEYOND IT’S THE MARKET JUNGLE.
It is entirely centered on Hank Voight, the boss of the Intelligence Section, a team that develops a family dependence among its members, you accept it or you move on. It started with the principle that everything is permitted to get to the truth or a confession, for several male members of the team, and first of all the boss. But obviously, George Floyd, and a few other affairs which are, in fact, nothing but police crimes, have brought some restraint and they rediscovered around season 5 or 6 that there is a book somewhere and that this book has to be respected by all, except Hank Voight who goes on crossing red lines but forbidding all other members to follow his example. They all have to work BY THE BOOK, except Hank Voight who does not know what the book really is, though I think he knows what the book says … for the other members of the team, not for him, please. So, yes, they use interrogation and investigation methods that are close to torture and rights denial, yet they cannot be seen as racist, though many of their customers are black.
