NCIS: New Orleans season 6 episode 17 is coming later this week on CBS, with the title "Biased." The story within this episode might be a relevant one as it somehow happens in the real world. The title alone suggests the episode will focus on the issue of being biased and how the police department deals with this kind of issue.
In NCIS: New Orleans season 6 episode 17, racial tensions rise in New Orleans after a white NOPD officer shoots a black Navy officer as he thought the man was armed amid a busy street party. This story is a serious one since it happens in the real world sometimes. This topic could also lead to some conversations about this matter that still need to be addressed.
A major racial tension will flare-up in this episode, which leads to some questions to the NOPD. So, how will the department deal with this incident? They have to make careful investigations and make a wise decision as they might be slammed by other people for being biased. But, what's interesting here is that the episode tackles an important topic.
Meanwhile, some of the guest stars in NCIS: New Orleans season 6 episode 17 include Shelley Robertson as Nessa Mitchell, Matthew James Thomas as NOPD Detective Ted Bradley, Mandy Levin as Louisiana State Police Detective Christina Cooper, Keith David as NOPD Gene Holloway, Brandon Gill as Gerald Young, and Thomas Owen as Union Rep Drakes.
In another report, the previous episode, titled "Pride and Prejudice," saw a man trying to impersonate the late Christopher LaSalle. This man tried to free a young woman from jail, so the team investigated the case. Good thing, they managed to solve the case and able to save their late colleague's reputation. The episode also ended with Pride spending and enjoying quality time with his daughter Laurel.
