Detective Nick Amaro shoots an unarmed Black teen, leaving him paralyzed. IAB Sergeant Ed Tucker (and his new partner Brian Cassidy) take Amaro's badge, while a special prosecutor charges him with a hate crime. Against advice from his lawyer, Nick testifies in front of the grand jury, and convinces them he followed proper procedure when he fired his weapon. Meanwhile, Captain Don Cragen announces he's retiring from the NYPD and is leaving the squad in the hands of newly-promoted Sergeant Olivia Benson.

We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 15 episode 11*  "Amaro's One-eighty." Our guest from our August 1, 2018 episode is Kimmie Smith of Athleisure Mag.

This story is inspired by the real life case of Ramarley Graham.

*Note: because of a two-part season opener, some streaming services list this as episode 10.
