"Scandal" TV Episode Reimagines Police Officer's Guilty Monologue! (Rewind Clip)
In the March 5. 2015 episode, Brandon Parker, a 17-year-old African-American teen is confronted by white police Officer Newton, after Newton receives a call about a cell phone shoplifting incident in which Parker fits the suspect’s description. When Newton thinks Parker is reaching for a knife, he shoots Parker in self-defense. In the end, viewers find out that Parker was in fact unarmed. Officer Newton reveals, in a frustrated, racist rant, that he planted the knife there because he felt “disrespected†by “you people,†referring to the black female protagonist Olivia Pope. Not only that, but Parker wasn’t the cell phone shoplifter in question; he was reaching into his pocket to pull out a sales receipt for the phone.Submitted By alldeals007. Posted By Persist
