Credit to Routh for having the balls to play this character the way he does knowing he may get flack for it by people who don’t know better.

good lord Brandon Routh playing an effective villain. This is perfect casting.

[ellenbrake]

I love Brandon routh as a good guy and a bad guy he does such a good job of making the bad guy charismatic
But I still see Superman every time he’s on screen

[DramMusc]

I would love to see Commander West talk some sense into Stanton like he did with Harper

[marcusjoe]

It's great to see this series take serious its pledge as to how it was going to portray police and do so while remaining entertaining.

[yanderefangirl]

Stanton is going after Jackson...which means he has a death wish.

[IsaiahCookWithAChance]

It’s great to see Atom/Superman be a police officer in “The Rookie”

[LovelyHaunting]

So basically an outright confession showing no remorse whatsoever making you an outright, unashamed monster. And all you have to say is that’s just how it is and you won’t change. You have no business policing anyone. Outright hypocrisy at its finest.

The problem with loyalty to a cause is that the cause will always betray you xD

[marilenazografou]

Brandon Routh is just
I mean, these gazes, and the way he is
💕💕💕💕

How do i go from loving Routh to hating him that's good acting right there

[jessica]

I like how they're going about the whole thing. There is no preaching or over the top unrealistic plot line; in fact, the other rookie ratting them out for his gain (and out of fear) is something that can very much happen in real life. Now Stan is going to fight back and I'm more excited to see how they will take him down!

[carterthiero]

I was PISSED SEEING THIS SCENE! That brother cop is no Brother! Letting a Racial White Man get away with shit to get promoted in the force!! And now Stanton is going against Jackson to get him fired, but at least Sgt Grey is on Jackson’s side

[sir.confident]

That face at 1:16 though. Grey was like "I wanna slap this fool!".

[Gunnhfran]

I’ve never hated anyone more than Stanton!

[McD]

Brandon Routh must be *loving* this role!!

[whosaprettykitty]

So basically... Tim and Lucy kinda messed up approaching that guy. It’s a shame that people would allow others to be mistreated to save their own hind. I miss West/Lopez together, man.

Sgt. Grey wants to have Jacksons back but does he ever want to get Nolans

[MrRudyc]

The blue wall of silence is very dangerous.

When he said "You understand, don't you Sgt. ?"

I literally said to my TV "did you just try to talk down to Sgt. Grey?"
