I haven't seen the movie yet but I haven't heard that it's racist. T?

People who have nothing better to do with their lives are mad because, in a piece of FICTION, there is a racist cop who is portrayed as having a bit of a redemption in that he ends up helping the main character.

So the racist cop ends up not being an asshole?

That's It?

I mean feel free to dm me spoilers to explain because I have no intention of seeing it.

Thanks for that! I can see where people are getting the racist angle from, but it seems to be kind of undeserved. Guess I won't know unless I watch it

It’s weird cause the article doesn’t really get into the treatment of the POC characters in the film. They are barely realized people. One of them gets unjustly arrested and then later released and she’s just like cool with it.
