Logline

BLACK COP

It's not easy being an African-American police officer in the current political climate. The local community and law enforcement mistrust each other in equal measure. A controversial court case is nearing a verdict. When the black cop is grilled by his fellow officers, the situation gets out of hand and revenge seems likely.
