    2 fishermen found a dead black man. tortured and tied. Drug behind a car down a dirt road. Sequence like the crime in Jasper, Texas. Witness says that he saw the beating and they drove a cutless. Man was a police officer. Believed to have been two police officers. two officers killed this black man and told two other fellow police officers. He targeted black man. Cheaper to keep Dietrick on the force because of his depression. Dietrick was there. He is a violent racist. In line up, one man was pointed out and it was him. This is a very good episode.moreless

  • Awesome example of why this show has reigned for so many years. Superb acting from the guest cast, especially the \"Rat\" cop at the end.

    Awesome example of why this show has reigned for so many years. Superb acting from the guest cast, especially the \"Rat\" cop at the end. ripped from the headlines, indeed- this episode\'s handling of the James Byrd case is thoughtful, tough and far-reaching just like this show at its best.
