- What's wrong?
I got stopped by a cop last night.
Stopped for what?
Stopped for walking.
That makes zero sense, unless--
oh, crap.
I see what happened.
In the Moo-Moo episode, Terry Jeffords
gets racially profiled.
Terry gets held by a police officer who's convinced
that because he's a large black man,
he doesn't belong in the neighborhood.
So he's pissed.
And he wants to file a complaint.
Holt disagrees and thinks that this needs to be
handled in a different way.
I don't want to see your career
derailed because you were besmirched for reporting
on another officer.
But what he did was wrong.
He should besmirched.
Yes, but is that besmirching worth the greater
besmirching of your career?
You have a balance besmirchings.
At the same time, Terry believes
that if you don't fight it right now, it's going to continue.
You're a great cop.
You could become a chief or higher.
How long will it take to make change that way?
One good reason we needed to tackle
it is so that "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"
didn't become a cartoon.
It was difficult for us to figure
out a way into that issue, because our guys are the cops.
And we've done as much as we can to portray a vision of the cops
that is a positive vision and a vision of the cops
that gets along with its community.
It was very hard to figure out how to represent
that story in a way that was fair to the cops
and also to the community.
The episode was written by Phil Jackson.
It's a story he really wanted to tell.
As far as the show goes, it felt
like there was an opportunity to make a statement.
I think it's definitely an issue that is important and has
been around for some time.
It's something that we really handled with comedy.
Nothing like that has ever happened to me.
And I've done some pretty suspicious
things in the street.
Hey, hey, hey, there!
What are you doing?
I'm just playing a prank on my buddy.
Sounds fun.
Carry on.
It was a very good prank.
I totally thought I was going to die.
But at the same time, in a very, very factual,
truthful way, and I think that people are going to really,
really like that episode.
