#OTD in 2009:
Sharon: “I want every inch of this area taped off. Sergeant Davies, make sure those casings over there are marked with our GPS system. That couple over there, the ones who called 911, they say they saw the murder from the car. Separate them, get detailed, and I mean detailed statements from both of them.”
Andy: “Uh, Captain Raydor?”
Sharon: “Lieutenant Flynn, I'm a little busy. What is it?”
Andy: “Well, we were wondering if, while you're investigating the shooting of a scumbag suspect we might look into the actual murder.
Provenza: “Chief Johnson won't be happy with the evidence detior...”
Sharon; “This isn't Chief Johnson's crime scene. So I wouldn't worry about it, gentlemen. Officer-involved shootings are my jurisdiction, not Major Crimes.”
Provenza: “That dead body over there is ours.”
Sharon: “Not tonight.”
Taylor: “Captain Raydor, uh, maybe it might expedite things if...”
Sharon: “If you explain why the Sergeant who pulled the trigger was permitted to leave after drinking and while you were with him, which makes you a percipient witness. What hospital am I going to?”
Taylor: “Cedars.”
Sharon: “Sergeant Ray, get the Commander's statement and get him out of here. Sergeant Elliot, I'm reachable on my cell!”

I'm supposed to believe that Janeway was sleeping at 6:15am?
Sounds fake, but okay
... unless she JUST went to bed at 6am. That's the only way it's plausible lmao

Obviously not expecting a (white) American site to gaf about today so lemme talk a bit more about Windrush Day and the Black British experience:
I feel like the Black British experience is constantly one of work and struggle. Our parents and grandparents lived through colonial and post colonial (using the term lightly) rule just to end up working and serving the imperial core, targeted by the same government that invited them here. A lot of the time its phrased as a choice but in reality what else could they have done? Ts and Cs apply bc for some West African Brits their parents were middle class back home but for me and others our families grew up in poverty in places still recovering from slavery and colonialism.
Britain whitewashes the history of Black immigrants, literally in the sense we're not taught our own history of Black people in Britain and metaphorically by applying British individualist myths; that as long as you work hard, don't complain about it and love Britain you can be British too. But it erases, ignores and distorts the truth that the British state used our community as nothing more than a labour force to rebuild after WWII and actively targeted Black British communities with police surveillance, brutality and systemic racism. All whilst denying it of course and turning their nose up at the very accusation. Very British.
Black British contributions, West African and West Indian to be more specific don't just apply in terms of work but in terms of shaping culture. 'Roadman' has become a meme and a caricature (including by some Americans on here ik u lot love 'chav') with barely any connection to its Black British roots, even when the term gets used as an insult to mainly Black working class men or used as a British version of 'thug'. The grime scene is undeniably a staple of Black Britain yet it is pathologised and judged, moral panics about Black people's violence and yet capitalised and profitted off of by non Black Brits as an aesthetic. Everybody wants the tracksuits, the tunes and the terminology innit. To be 'road' means to be Black British yet when its time to talk culture, nobody wants to credit it us. All of a sudden its 'London culture'.
But it isn't all doom and gloom. There's so much history and culture here in our spaces. I'd be lying if I said growing up where I did was easy. But it has shaped my outlook and made me and I'll carry that with me forever. Our grandparents and parents came here with so little and made so much out of nothing. And I'll always honour that. Justice for the Windrush generation.
