Goofs
While waiting in the squad car, West witnesses someone attempting to break into a car using a Slim Jim, once she scares him off, the camera pans over to the car, and the window is already partially down. There would be no need for a Slim Jim if you can just reach inside to open the door.

Quotes
Alicia West: Murder is murder, no matter who you are.

Subtle as a brick to the face

Starts with a black woman in a hoodie getting stopped while jogging. Confronts white cops with attitude, gets slammed against fence. Turns out to be fully fledged cop with her shield in her pocket. Aannnd that's about as subtle and nuanced as Black and Blue gets.

Even the scene where the cops get coffee later on is ramped up for tension.

Misfire. Could be so much more with a little more finesse on the script editing.
