Suspensions of Disbelief

NOTE: this review is typed in **Sarcasm Font**

While the Reagan's need a few (one per episode, at least) 4-leaf clovers for good luck, this episode is no exception...

Not only is "Linda" mugged in front of her rolling clinic, she acts in a way that's VERY OBVIOUSLY something a PO's wife would ever do in a neighborhood such as this.

After a while, I'd stop hanging around this bunch, as they've all been shot at / hit, they've also, almost to a person, shot & killed perps.

That said, when "Danny" gets upset that his beloved bride bought a gun on the DL after the mugging (and, OF COURSE, she bumps into her "Golden Boy" BIL, Jamie & asks for his silence b/c it's a "surprise".

I can promise you this, if this were more true-to-life, Danny would've MADE her pack some heat - and probably carry a gun, too...**rim shot**

Thank the good Lord above that Lt. Carver (think "Arnold from Dif'rent strokes" mom, had he had one - she pretty much sums up every stereotype about an angry, African American officer-in-charge PD brass, she nails it) is a short-lived character & disappears around this time in the series - she was AWFUL.

Anyway - "Francis" (that's all if ever call him if I was Rev. Potter!!) offers push back regarding pressure to call a rash of killings prominent people of the Jewish faith as "hate crimes" - but they find out the true story just in time.

Can't make this stuff up.

Oh wait.....I love y'all for reading this. It's not meant to be taken seriously, and I'm determined to do more in a slightly sarcastic tone.

5.9 ****

Still another excellent episode where Frank tries to calm the Jewish Community when 3 of its own are shot down in the street. Sure appears to be bias incidents and the group wants to hire 500 people to secure religious areas. Frank feels that by doing this, they are diminishing their faith in the police. How he is shown to be correct by the episode's end was interesting to watch. It just proves that we can't jump the gun.

Danny's wife takes matters into her own hands by purchasing a pistol after she is mugged while working in a dangerous area.

Danny is angry with her for taking an assignment and the episode shows her independence and fortitude.

Commonality

It would be the easiest thing in the world to rule the shooting of three prominent Jewish people a hate crime. Which is exactly what many in the Jewish community want done and are clamoring to have done. But Tom Selleck isn't so sure especially with a detective whose work he's familiar with assigned to the case.

In the meantime Donnie Wahlberg is having some of his own issues when Linda Carlson is held up after a shift at a traveling clinic from her hospital. Should she start packing a weapon? Not something Wahlberg is in favor of for his wife.

As it turns these victims have something else in common other than faith or ethnicity. A fourth potential victim shows up and confirms it.

Nice episode about jumping to conclusions.
