Blue•ish

I've been a big fan of the show Black•ish. It's funny,  and my wife and I have tuned in nearly every week since it premiered.
But no more. Last night's episode, Hope, left me angry and hope•less. Look, I understand wanting to be relevant.  I understand wanting to address current events. But for an episode chock full of facts and statistics,  they left out a few.
The most glaring one is that of the term "unarmed". They pointed out that 25% of people killed by police (in Los Angeles) were unarmed.  I'll throw a bone to the character Rainbow,  who quipped that 25% unarmed means 75% were armed. That's true. But unarmed doesn't necessarily mean not dangerous. As my wife pointed out, the most popular sport that people are getting involved in is mixed martial arts, or MMA. If you know some MMA moves, you likely don't need a traditional weapon. And consider this: a couple years ago, a female police officer was handcuffing a suspect when he unexpectedly turned around and punched her with so much force it knocked her out. But technically, he was unarmed. 
Also glaringly absent from the fact-filled dialog last night was how many officers are killed on the job. 13 so far just this year. If you want to have an honest,  relevant conversation,  that really should be a part of it. Unless you're looking to alienate and narrow down your audience.  If that was the goal, then congrats on a job well done, Black•ish.
