Why do yall have Christopher Meloni's picture attached to the headline? You could of used the shows sign.

Castle doctrine. Let me know when he gets a new job because I will watch that show.

They fired him for violating the Hollywood decency code by actually having some.

Mr Wolf is a good man of integrity. If he made that call, he’s got cause.

Wrong move Mr Wolf

This is why I don't watch network TV.

Hollywood - Where everyone talks about diversity and inclusion but doesn't believe it applies to them.

His parents named him perfectly.

Anonymity is essential.

Real New Yorkers ain’t w that fuck around!

Sounds like the first episode just wrote itself.

This is why hollywood entertainment is so watered down and ineffective now days. Everybody is scared of being labeled problematic and hires are more based on diversity than actual talent

Why are you posting this picture with ur headline?....Chris_Meloni Not fair....

Another nutcase TRUMP FAN who needs psychiatric help

There once was a man named Craig Gore, Who posed with a gun by his door To show he was tough, But then, soon enough His Co-EP job was no more.

the writer was just hired by the NYPD.... (joke)

I bet he used to work for the 'Shield' huh

👍🏿

As he should

I'm sure the scared-out-of-their wits and digusted residents of NYC, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and other riot-damaged cities would love to have more law-abiding patriots ready to 'light the motherf****rs up.'

If someone tries to enter your home to loot it shoot them dead. That’s absolutely the right thing to think and say

Something not right in the head- GET HELP

Terri_White ☝️😎👍

Broadcast network: 'Okay what ideas do you have?' Dick Wolf: 'How about a show about cops?' Broadcast network: 'So original! Genius! Here's 50 million dollars'

He did NY undercover dirty. Make that right again as well

Maybe they could do an episode where a hollywood scriptwriter commits multiple murders because he blames protesters for looting. And not wrap it up neatly at the end of the episode.

thank gawd it's not Speed Weed

Good.

As he should

In the Hollywood TV production business the consumers are represented by two separate but equal entities: the writers who should just turn out content and the executive producers who fire them when they go racist. DUN DUN DUH DUH DUN DUH DUH!

thejesstige Dick Wolf for the win! Lol

'Writer on a cop show supports police brutality'

Different question - that guy has a long criminal history, including felonies (which he brags about). How does he legally own a gun in CA?

TheLaurenChen TheQuartering

Is this why he became a fan

BongBong Good for you DickWolf! Protests2020

Hell yeah!!!

Please no diversity of thought! It threatens the narrative!

kathygriffin Ironic, considering that the L&O and Chicago franchises have both operated essentially as pro-police brutality agitprop for decades.

kathygriffin On the bright side he's free now to work with others in Hollywood who share his beliefs. I'm sure Scott Baio has something great in the works.

Good

Just another guy who wanted his robocop moment... good!

Dick Wolf said

Love to see it

Why would he be fired for threatening to defend himself against looters? What are you supposed to do, apologize to them while they break into your home and steal shit? This cancel culture is bullshit

kathygriffin Good.

BrandXJon BLOCKED me,was it something I said BunkerBitch

How much of his BILLION dollar net worth did Dick Wolf donate, though?

Wow. That writer looks exactly like Chris Meloni!!

DUNN DUNNNNNNN

Good. Let’s get a Black showrunner now.

Why? I still don't understand how people keep defending looting. Makes zero sense.

Here's the tick tock -

Awesome! You don't need anyone like that working on your shows.

Only corporate supported opinions on the use of violence, please.

We all know where Dick Wolf is on the political spectrum. It's why the LawandOrder shows have become totally unwatchable.

Why did you use Christopher Meloni? He flew the coup years ago. Or are you just rubbing it in that the show survived without him?

The writer said or did nothing wrong. If a looter tries to enter your property shoot to kill them.

ShanyeWest85 ShanyeWest85 DICK WOLF

Instead he keeps the instigators.

Note to people: Keep off of Facebook and political comments. Jobs are scarce right now. Use a stage name on Twitter. My employer recommended using a stage name.

Law & Order distances itself from Law and Order

Hey Chris_Meloni !

Wow 😳

Why a pick of Chris tho ?

I guess the writer shit himself in the foot, metaphorically speaking.

Dick Wolf probably listened to NWA’s “fuck the police” while he made this decision because lefty’s have no self-awareness that they cultivated and produced the culture that gave them this moment, which is really a hate bubble that’s popping in slow motion.

Right, but he hasn’t contributed a cent from his 9 figure cop propaganda deal so who gives a god damn.

Great, now let us know when Wolf starts making Law & Order episodes about how the system is corrupt and rigged against PoC, written and directed by PoC. Until then, everything else rings hollow.
