I suppose preconceived ideas/assumptions are big reasons why the storyline is needed. It's a hot topic that I may have to recuse myself of any conversations regarding it in the future. The subject matter may be too controversial for many to handle and I hope DAYS doesn't "misfire!"

What about the ones that don't point their guns?

What about the ones that don't have guns at all?

This issue is something that has to be addressed. I don't have great hopes of Days doing this well, but maybe it will spark some conversations.
It seems JJ will be a good representation of the issue in law enforcement, or least one of them. Many. TOO many. Not all. But many receive too little training, are protected by their own, and did not learn or had no interest in learning de-escalation. First, with JJ's encounter with Ben, suspension, and re-instating by a police commissioner who also has a history of rash decisions with a gun. Now this story with Theo.

Will the writing be spectacular? Not likely. But there's decent set-up to address this. Though despite the white cop and black victim, there's not enough set up to unpack racism in law enforcement well.
I am hoping the story isn’t about racism but about Theo being autistic. I’ve noticed they’ve been bringing up his autism lately, more than they have since he was sorased.

That wouldn't make it a less sensitive topic, lol

Agreed.

I am equally heartbroken finding out people without weapons have been shot/killed because the officers don't recognize autism/bipolar disorder/other issues related to development/health.

You think Theo is going to point a weapon at JJ?
Exactly. Where have we even heard that Theo has a gun at all, much less points one at a cop?

Where'd that assumption come from?
Theo had a gun on Clyde. He was avenging Abe's shooting during the siege from Orpheus, Clyde, and Xander.

I'm not saying that he'll have a gun this week, but he did before.
