The moment Finn tried to test Julene’s boundaries and she snapped at him, that was when she showed her true colors (no pun intended).

Seeing this woman get aquitted was what made Munch retire from NYPD

[lexibeach]

When the mother said "not my baby, not my baby" it broke my heart

[crImsngen]

She plays such a good racist it makes you absolutely hate the character. Feels far too genuine.

[DoubleOhTheG]

This episode was a combination of the Paula Deen and Trayvon Martin cases

[Mia_M]

Hate is taught. What’s sad is it didn’t have to be that way. Had that lady not been so prejudiced, she could’ve helped him. He wasn’t a threat to her and she made up a story to cover her backside because she knew that boy was nowhere near her.

[JaironDurham]

That woman should’ve been sent to prison

[DynaSuarezWrecks]

Remember, guys: similarities to real events or people are coincidental. But in this episode, Paula Dean killed Trayvon Martin.

A very sad SVU episode and a quite brave performance by Cybill.

[anthonymcbride]

On one hand, the boy should’ve had more awareness of his surroundings. On the other, racists like her still exist and are always looking for a reason to start trouble; it’s just much harder to spot them nowadays.

[shermanculbertson]

I absolutely love watching these clips. 😊

[mattm]

“Stop and frisk till we get this guy” is crazy work

[NH-tbsm]

The racist woman made me sick to my stomach. That last line was vile.

[KingDarknessOf]

This Is A Hate Crime, That Kid's Blood Is Now On That Woman's Hands

[bryanteague]

This show always manages to get some really big names for guest appearances….i love Cybil

[shannonbugeja]

I know it’s television but this episode got me so angry watching it the Cybill character probably infuriated a lot of people with her bad attitude and behaviour towards people because of their race.

[dmf]

I don’t believe it was self defence.

I don’t think she stalked the streets LOOKING for someone to shoot, either, but when she saw the black person approaching her? She shot.

Not because he lunged at her or threatened her in any way… because he was black. 😞

[Afroman]

That woman should have been sent to prison, and the cop's actions are the reason people hate them.

[babyylexiee]

Oh wow I’ve never been this early on here

We stop worshiping fallen heroes! Some victims are just victims
