A similar story happened on the lastest The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
I’ve had the police do almost the same thing to me in a very similar situation. Except: I wasn’t wearing a mask, cell phones didn’t exist yet, and I wasn’t black. I wonder what has changed so much over the years?
The series has a Black Panther vibe. And this supposed to be set 5 years in the future. The whole thing seems to have been written by someone with Trump living rent free in their head.
New Amsterdam, the lead heart surgeon is black male, lead Oncologist black female, Hospital head white male, lead surgeon Asian male. ER was triaged. Free hospital all were welcome. Another lead male Dr was Indian/Buddhist. Went and ruined it.
I miss Dr Welby, Dr Kildare, Dr Ben Casey.
I read an article about that particular incident. Apparently there is this thing called a TOTS, which means "Tune Out Time Stamp." On streaming services, they know exactly when you start and when you stop watching a show.
Well there was a very interesting thing which happened during this particular episode of "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier." During the incident in question, their audience evaporated. The Tune Out Time Stamp indicated that right after they portrayed this encounter between the police and a black guy on screen, 83% of the audience left the show.
The article I read indicated that this shocked Disney program management people and that it will likely cause them to avoid this sort of crap propaganda attempts in the future.
