Danny Pino gets himself into a real jackpot over a shooting in this SVU episode. A party is breaking up over Mariska Hargitay's recent promotion to sergeant and as Pino and Kelli Giddish were leaving they see a uniform officer giving chase to a young black suspect. In the end Pino is charged with shooting him and leaving him paralyzed. It was touch and go whether it would be murder.
This certainly was a timely episode as first the department under pressure from City Hall and from citizenry in general to get out from under bad press. That means hanging Pino out to dry guilty or not.
There certainly have been recent stories about police misconduct and the Grand Jury system that fails to indict which makes this one timely story. The episode belongs to Danny Pino who is worried about the future for his wife and kid since jail is a real possibility. Special custodial arrangements would be made since former cops don't really fare well in prison general population.
Nice and timely.
