January 11, 2019

Republic of Chad Coleman too Meagan Good were both first-class every bit AJ too Paula too they made this episode bearable. As always, Raúl Esparza too Elizabeth Marvel convey a existent spark to the legal side of the story. Just virtually everyone else seemed to live phoning this 1 in. The whole bar scene amongst Amaro too Rollins was cringe-worthy too seemed forced to me.
Benson takes a fleck of a holier-than-thou approach to this case. She is displeased amongst the fact that master copy ADA took the arresting officer’s word, too Barba smartly reminds he does the same for her. She also seems annoyed amongst Fin when he stumbled on a kid porn site, but in 1 lawsuit the detectives spot a possible example of domestic violence amongst a famous mortal on that same site, all of a abrupt she’s interested. She was dismissive amongst Fin too the others, acting every bit if she thought they were wasting their time. In reality, had Fin non been looking at that site, they may receive got never seen what happened to Paula until it blew upward on the news. It was plumbing equipment that Calhoun took Benson to project virtually for having Amaro dorsum on the team – amongst a gun no less - after his episode of fierce demeanor too subsequent anger management. Benson was acting similar domestic violence should live handled differently than violence at the hands of the police. The number should live violence against all others, too at that topographic point should live no double criterion for police force when something happens exterior the line of duty. Benson also has to acknowledge that the rehabilitative powers of anger management doesn’t ever work, too clearly it is non working for Amaro. Benson may live inward denial that her ain detectives are exactly every bit flawed every bit the SVU perps she is trying to lay inward jail.
Avoiding domestic violence should live every bit uncomplicated every bit having a dominion maxim “no mortal should strike some other person, ever”. It’s an slow dominion to alive past times - a lot easier if a mortal is raised that way. Cultural too behavioral issues tin explicate component of how domestic violence happens, but it should never excuse it. In reality, when it comes to prosecuting these cases, things acquire messy. In this case, the video showed the violence was clearly 1 sided, but inward the privacy of one’s ain abode where non ever 2nd is recorded for posterity, things may non seem thence clear.
