It’s no secret how CBS’s Magnum P.I. reboot feels (https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/dawn-slusher/2021/03/06/magnum-pi-reboot-glorifies-blm-activism-slams-police-system) about police officers. They’ve previously defended BLM violence as “patriotism,” labeled police as “the bad guys,” and claimed good cops are “guilty by association.” On Friday (http://magnum-mania.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=4589), they continued their hateful bias with a storyline so far-fetched it would almost be laughable if it weren’t for the serious repercussions it could have on this dangerous anti-cop climate in which a record number (https://www.foxnews.com/us/record-police-officers-shot-killed-2021) of police officers are being attacked and murdered across the country.

When they interview him, Nix says Stella was a criminal informant (CI) who fell back into her old habits.
But when Magnum and his friend Rick (Zachary Knighton) eventually find her, they learn Nix raped and impregnated Stella. They also discover Nix is a corrupt cop who used Stella’s intel to rip off drug dealers and that he has many dirty cops working for him. Nix is also responsible for the shooting of the first man who tried to find Stella, Jimmy Wu:
