[@sirjudge5055]

I was getting extradited from Utah to Los Angeles one fine day, or two. Late 1980's. Being escorted by a couple of very jaded, well-armed, vice cops out of Hollywood. Who were hella hungover from excessive partying the night before we caught our flight. Following a LONG drive the day before with their badges clipped to the front side windows of the rental car they drove 100+ mph thru Utah, everywhere we went. Lots of side trips and adventures along the way... Odd, they are allowed by law/procedure to carry their loaded firearms on the commercial flight.

She’s a defense attorney, that’s what they do.

[@cytorakdemon]

From the trailer, I thought the angry black lawyer trying to defend a criminal, who pulled a gun on a federal agent and threatened to assault his daughter, by using the race card would be a parody on social justice. Like, "you can't charge my client, he's black, and to do so would be racist". Then I found out she's a meant to be a recurring main character who 100% believes she's doing the right thing and the only one trying to do it. As excited as I was for Justified to get a sequel, I had an inkling they'd mess it up or "modernize" it.

[@randyqquaint8400]

Let's see how they (the writers) are able to resolve her stance w/ that of Raylan's. It's a relevant commentary that pertains to the real world, and it would be on track w/ plenty of Raylan's previous arcs, i.e., how his beliefs and decided actions are at conflict with others' expectations of how he should execute his duties as a marshal.

[@cytorakdemon]

@@randyqquaint8400 I hope so, cus the "we have to vilify the white cop in his own show because 'wah copaganda'" is just so shallow. I get the drama between Raylan and the law in the original show was "Raylan, you can't keep goading criminals into pulling a gun on you show you can justify shooting them." But this is just lame.

[@randyqquaint8400]

@@cytorakdemon I certainly get that, but remember that Raylan historically has made himself an easy target and, in some situations, target of investigation (i.e., his fingerprint on the "next one's coming a lot faster" bullet leading to him being murder suspect) due to his personal anger or frustration that caused him to become more hostile and threatening towards his foes. Let's also be honest, we know (and love) that Raylan threatens to put people in the trunk all live long day, but if it were to happen to a black man on an overly hot day, drawing attention towards the race card would indeed be a likely eventuality of his defense.

[@randyqquaint8400]

@@cytorakdemon Overall, I don't think the show is going to go full on "racist cop" or anything, it's just going to be another hurdle that Raylan needs to find a way of adapting to.
