Law & Order: SVU boss: We'll address police brutality throughout this season

TVLine

"In our season premiere, 'Guardians and Gladiators,' our cops arrive at a crime in Central Park where a Black man has already been arrested," says SVU showrunner Warren Leight. "As civilians record their every move on cell phones, the squad makes a series of quick decisions that turn an already enraged community further against them. Throughout the episode, and the season, we’ll be looking at how explicit and implicit bias shape the criminal justice system, and also at how public scrutiny and anger, and internal conflicts, affect our squad."
