The stakes are higher in January 24’s episode of
The Rookie, “Sabotage,” now that Officer Jackson West (Titus Makin Jr.) is working together with Sergeant Wade Grey (Richard T. Jones), and fellow Officers Lucy Chen (Melissa O Neil) and Tim Bradford (Erica Winter) to take down Officer Doug Stanton (Brandon Routh), presented to viewers as a racist white cop personified.
One of the first interactions Stanton has with a civilian this episode is him stopping a law-abiding Hispanic man:
Stanton: Catch the game last night?
West: Yeah. It was brutal. Can t believe they were able to come back on us.
Stanton: Uh-huh. Yeah, I believed. That s why I won 200 bucks. Anything look out of place to you?
