A new season of NBC’s Law and Order premiered last night with an episode about a conservative journalist who helps his friend murder an innocent woman.
The victim, Macy Harper (Antonia Timbol), is a district attorney who was prosecuting a conservative senator.
In the episode, “Catch and Kill,” Harper is found brutally murdered in her home. Police initially arrest an illegal immigrant who lives in a hotel shelter nearby.
Of course, the illegal immigrant turns out to be innocent. He was wrongly suspected because he was wearing a sweatshirt that had been thrown in the trash outside Harper’s home. He tells the police that he saw a white man with a beard yelling at the woman outside her house.
Unsurprisingly for network television, every creepy guy from this point onward in the rest of the episode is a white man. White men must always be the perps on crime…
