since the episode didn't include any kind of note at the end, i want to give anyone else watching a quick reminder that those police officers did in fact speak like that to the operator and that their homophobia was not dramatized. if anything, this series has had to play down some of the details of the actual events for the sake of palatable television.
sandra smith and nicole childress were black women, konerak simthasomphone was from laos, and these officers and dahmer were white. there is a reason that konerak was brought back to dahmer's apartment that night. there's a reason those police officers didn't bother to investigate the smell of decomposition in dahmer's apartment. this was racism and homophobia, plain and simple.
"fun" fact: officer balcerzak was made president of the milwaukee police department in 2005, and retired in 2017 with full benefits and pension. the milwaukee department even posted a tweet congratulating him on his "service."
Racism, homophobia and classism. Oh baby it's a triple. They show this so on the nose, but somehow people here still chalk it up to incompetence. These cops thought they could get HIV by going into a bedroom, come on.
There's something about the pacing of this show I'm not really into it
Wow. Being in a black neighbourhood full of drugs and crime, the cops passed off his reasoning for living there as acceptable. Cops were totally homophobic.
"it's as positive as I can be" yeah f***ing right
Why is it not in English?
