A deplorable episode (Rampage)

Totally overstepped the line of entertainment. The premise of a "Cold Case" is fantastic. The theme is new and unused. Now they use a person's fear and concern to exploit it, cheaply for amusement. When a show reaches its life span, they start to use sensationalism, example: mass killings and bloodshed. Showing young people shooting up a mall. Now we've been used, in a political issue, against some gun, a "Tec-9". "Copy-cat" risk is not their concern. Writers' responsibility should be for there actions. Taking a good Hispanic character, Daniel Pino, who's tremendous, then Meredith Stiehm and Gina Gionfriddo choose to turn the Dect.into, a drunken, police brutality ass. That beats on people, in the name of the law when they commit crimes, "he doesn't like". Now the audacity, of such a character to state, "decent families don't own a certain gun" is impossible. How could he or the writers know what's decent. It's no longer "who did what" but pure Hollywood politics. I personally hate prejudice and we're being used.
