USA’s show Shooter, a small screen version of the Mark Wahlberg movie, was supposed to debut tomorrow, but due the shooting of several officers in Dallas that left 5 dead, they decided to postpone it a week. Now after yesterday’s shooting of 6 cops in Baton Rogue that left 3 dead, they have decided to postpone the show indefinitely. A decision I think is wise because American needs a break from it.
Something I don’t think TNT understands as they continue airing Murder in the First that has been dealing with issues close to recent horrible events. First, they dealt with a huge football player being shot and killed by an unknown person at a club. That fake murder aired just two weeks after Christina Grimmie’s murder and the Pulse Shooting. Then over the last few weeks, they have been dealing with Taye Diggs shooting an unarmed African American man around the same time that Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Sometimes when life imitates art, we don’t know need to see it. Now is one of those times.
