Last night’s episode revolved around a 12-year-old black boy who was shot by police after attempting to break into his home after forgetting his keys. The boy was named after Eric Garner, the New York man who died after police used a chokehold to restrain him while he was allegedly selling cigarettes on the street. “On Grey's, we've been portraying other-than-white groups in a very good light and trying to change the basic attitude of unconscious bias,” says episode writer Zoanne Clack, a former ER doctor who’s been with the ABC series since its second episode. “But to go in there and talk about it in such a straightforward fashion was a brilliant opportunity.” ALSO: Grey's fans melt down over fear that Bailey is going to die.

I didnt enjoy this part of the episode. Shondra Rimes needs to stay out of politics and produce quality storylines, as do the actors.
