Another Wednesday, another episode of Law & Order SVU! This week we watched Law & Order SVU Season 22 Episode 1 "Guardians and Gladiators". This episode was based on the Central Park Birdwatching Incident. Christian Cooper was just trying to spend his Memorial weekend birdwatching, when he found himself in a confrontation with a dog owner. A confrontation he had thought was just about leashing the dog in the park, until Amy Cooper called the cops and reported that a Black man was threatening to assault her.
