Tonight we watched an episode of The Rookies named Neon Skies. The episode was about getting a couple of cops In a bad neighborhood to get to know the community and try to deter crime. The chief believes that Terry, a young African American rookie cop, would be great for the task. When rookie Terry passed on the offer, clean cut white Willie stepped up. The first day Willie encounters one of the neighborhood’s crew at the gym and invites them to a game of basketball.
He gets beat up when he gets too close. He was also wearing police gear. Willie is a nice guy and is determined to come back. Terry ends up accompanying him and they both return the next day. At first their effort at community policing Is unwelcome by the crew. Willie Is fascinated by gangs and that’s why he took on the assignment. The guys are not sure whether to trust them or not but are impressed that he came back after the beating.
