Gang Stuff
Hitchcoc21 April 2021
An FBI undercover agent has infiltrated on of the most dangerous gangs, but one night he is shot and killed. The algorithm this time is to show the predictability of gang violence. He butts heads with a career guy. The striking thing involves the statistics of shootings and deaths in LA. I'd be interested to see if they are accurate. There is some pretty precious romantic things here that, for me, are a distraction.

Tamara was great but the law enforcement disappointing

Warning: Spoilers
For people who still don't see the difference, look at the episode.

How often are white males instructed to lay on the pavement when the police approach? The guys were only paying basketball.

The one guy did run but did David need to pull his gun?

The LAPD guy instantly wanted to have a sniper shoot John.

In real life, Dylan Roof killed 9 people in a church, left the state and when the police finally caught up with him bought him food from Burger King.

Although this episode made me angry, I think Numb3rs does a great job at show the inequities and mentioning the racism in the system.
