Doubled standard. It's a conflicting race matter, but I get it. It comes more understanding when you know blacks can come in all shades, including "white" but whites can't produce anything darker naturally unless there's black in the ancestry somewhere. The different shades of black to the point it can produce something white makes it acceptable for a white looking person to be black than the other way around. The last thing racist white society would want is a BLACK looking person calling themselves white even if they're half or have a portion of white heritage in them because black is dominant and seen as a taint and thus nothing "white" can purify it to make that person call themselves white. But a white looking person with black in them would be considered tainted and thus, seen as black.
I hope that made somewhat of sense, but that's the best I can explain it.
Well that needs to change because that is practically harmless. We'll be having a whole bunch of charges if that's the case and for the ones that do get made, very little about it gets done because of how meaningless it actually is. I remember watching a reality show where a woman got arrested for spitting on someone which was seen as "assault". Is it wrong? Yes, but not to that extent.
He was temporarily a few times during Season 6 and 7, but they realized the show didn't really need a D.A. because there was hardly any courtroom drama scenes. The show relied more on the police investigation. This was heavily clear during those first five seasons. Most of the time, you never saw Carver that active in the courtroom. He was always at the station dealing with the detectives while they were investigating or going places with them while handling a suspect. He was rather a wasted character.
He gave her a shove. That's not really assault. He of course knew what he was doing because it was clear he was trying to get her to attack him and it worked. But like I said, it could have been way worse. It was just tame enough for him to avoid a charge if it came down to it.
I went to watch this episode to see what you mean, and I barely call that assault. He simply bumped her. He didn't flat out hit her or handle her like she did him in return which was complete overreaction. I guess you can say he was sneaky in how to get her in their custody knowing she would react so defensively, but it could have been far worse. He's no Mike Logan or Elliot Stabler who have done much more to get what they wanted out of a potential suspect. In the end, it turns out the woman didn't even do the crime, but for the time being she did come off very suspect. For the most part, Cyrus is fair and a chill dude. I had no issues with him as a character during his time on the show.
Off-topic, but the format of the episode is rather interesting. I like it when the police and lawyers are more involved together during an investigation and it's refreshing to not see an actual trial happen. The show should have been more like this because for there to always be a trial, and very quickly at that, just got ridiculous. We needed more episodes like this to balance out the trial based ones.
I just think limiting it to just New York City was a mistake. This should have been an all over the country thing, maybe even taking it to other countries in later seasons if we really wanted to broaden things. And given how real court cases are that are handled in a much slower and timely fashion, that could also be handled more accurately. Doing it the way we know it, I've always had issues with this because we get 20+ episodes a year with different stories and you're telling me all these trials are happening so swiftly at once? And in real life, trials don't even happen all like that because it's a huge expensive thing to do. So my idea would work better for something like this that's to go on for 20+ episodes a season.
If you pay attention to the trailers where we see the Ooompa Loompa, then the 1971 version is an instant pick. However, the movie comes off very fantasy-like to even be a prequel to that movie. In a way, it could have been a prequel to the 2005 version if you were to remove the 1971 references this movie has since the 2005 version has the fantasy style look to it.
Overall, the movie seems to be its own thing just based off the 1971 version. An alternate prequel if you will, which is so dumb to me. Like why even bother? You were best just having this be its own thing without the 1971 version references.
Are you dumb. He was a murderer and was clearly guilty. There was no rumor here dude. And he did get a fair trial that actually granted his acquittal over a technicality mistake. The parents had every reason to hunt him down and kill him because he got away with everything and the legal system made things worse with their stupid laws that helped get him off.
I think there were scenes in the English version that were dubbed over because the English lines did not match the mouth, like in the scene at the end when Van Helsing gets arrested. Those voices were definitely dubbed.
You can see for yourself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sncs7Hivx3Y at 1:16:03 in. I went to look for the line myself.
