Last week’s episode of the Showtime drama series
The Chi features a corrupt Chicago mayor responding to a cop using excessive force by defunding the Chicago Police Department.
Last week’s episode, “Soul Food,” depicts Trig (Luke James) nearly stabbing a racist CPD officer to death. The officer had assaulted Trig’s 15-year-old brother (Michael Epps) in a previous episode, and Trig was out for revenge.
At the hospital, corrupt Chicago Mayor Otis ‘Douda’ Perry (Curtiss Cook) confronts officer Reeves (Christian Litke) in the hospital. During the visit he calls him a racist “bad cop” who beats up black youths without any justification. Later, Mayor Perry appears before the media and says “People are more valuable than property,” in response to a question about rioters “lotting. “Racist cops will not be tolerated on my watch.”
Last season of Showtime s
The Chi featured no cops, on purpose. In addition to a major storyline being to trash the police, even when a young black woman had disappeared, because the residents could take care of that all on their own, the Chicago PD be damned. In its fourth season, though, the Chicago PD has played a major part in both episodes so far. May 30’s episode of “Cooley High” takes place not long after last week s episode of Soul Food, when a 15-year old was assaulted by a racist police officer.
The closing scene of last week’s episode was of Trig (Luke James) exacting revenge on Officer Reeves, the racist police officer who assaulted his 15-year old brother, Jake (Michael Epps). Although Trig repeatedly strikes the officer with a sharp object, he’s not dead, but he has been hospitalized. Mayor Otis ‘Douda’ Perry (Curtiss Cook), who is as corrupt as you’d expect the mayor of Chicago to be, shows up to fire this Officer Reeves.
