I like how Carl didn't go after the rookie. He could tell he was ashamed of his partner's actions, and Carl knew this. Carl showed the kid he knew, just listen to his tone of voice. He goes dad mode.
@ Moore What an ignorant statement. There are so many good officers of all ethnicities. There are bad Officer as well of all ethnicities, to say it’s always the white cops, so ignorant.
There are good cops like carl they're just overshadowed or unrated cause there's more bad cops than good making the good cops get the short end of the stick cause everyone likes to round it up if you're a cop you're evil which is wrong as fucking hell

Reason why Carl stopped him on his way out is because deep inside he feels him being the younger, rookie officer it wasnt his intention, he was just following his superiors orders.
@@luisdurena I think Carl realized that too. The young cop did and said some of these things more in ignorance, but his superior officer knew exactly what he was doing. When he was called Slime, he didn't have a rebuttal.

He tells off the cops that harassed his son... But still keeps his cool enough not to take it too far. He then goes through the correct channels and has Eddie file a complaint. We need more real cops like him.

@@shaggyajao5685 Absolutely. They may have been short-tempered, but they stood up for their families when it was *ABSOLUTELY* necessary. Best example for Uncle Phil was when Will's dad left him again. Phil goes off on Lou and consoles Will when he breaks down in tears.
I always loved the difference in demeanor between Carmichael and Evans. Carmichael acts friendly and respectful towards Carl, (standing up to shake his hand) treats him like a superior and refers to him as "sir" while Evans can't even look Carl in the eye
Carmichael is a newer officer and hasn't been on the force long enough to fall into the union rabbit hole, the same rabbit hole that will ensure that nothing gets done to Evans. Evans on the other hand, acts as if he thinks the only reason Carl is a sergeant is because of some affirmative action move by the city, and thus does not show Carl the same respect.
@@CardboardSliver yeah Carl always hung out with his boss, when he was a Sgt, he hung out with Lt. Murtog, when Carl got promoted to Lt, he hung out with Captain Savage. When Carl got promoted to Captain, he hung out with Cominsher Geiss
They should've done a follow up episode where Evans faces justice and Carmichael transfers to Carl's precinct to learn how to be a proper police officer.
This reminds me of the episode from Fresh Prince when uncle Phil yelled at the white cops for wrongfully putting Will and Carlton in jail for being black. These were powerful episodes.
"I got some questions for you. When you got that alleged confession from theses two boys, was a lawyer present? No, because I'm their lawyer. Did you call their parents? No, because we're they're parents. So officers, don't tell us to wait and don't tell us to sit down. Just do what I tell you and open the damn cell, before I tie this precinct up with enough litigation that your GRANDCHILDREN WILL NEED LAWYERS!"
that was a very powerful and meaningful episode. Addressing Police Harassment and Racism in such a powerful manner. One of the best episodes ever, I'll tell you that.
Uncle phill and Carls Winslow were two amazing examples of how grown folks should behave it be work, family, related,, professionalism in a work place, and in life in general, so glad I grew up even if I didn’t have a dad I saw a perfect example of what both a dad a uncle husband and family man should be. Rest in love uncle phill and thanks for the moral lessons officer carl Winslow
I can't lie This was without a doubt the Best episode of Family Matters. Carl knew exactly what was going on, and with the things going on today with cop's this was very emotional and appropriate.
Because everybody was jizzing in their pants over Seinfeld. Yes that show was funny but not THAT funny. Family Matters was very underrated and should've gotten more recognition.
@@diddliewinks3486 Fuck that shit. It’s all about quality. Unfortunately in terms of awards shows, ESPECIALLY how the Academy revealed their true colors, it’s not the case.
Man, didn't think I'd tear up at the end. Watched that episode as a kid and it's just as powerful today as it was 25 years ago. Miss television shows that have good messages in every episode.
He knew it and regretted not standing up to Evans when he had the chance. Carl knew Carmichael was a good cop who made a terrible mistake in following his partner. It was in that moment that he wished Carl was his partner instead because he could've learned a lot from him.
@@ladyfire44 Not sure if it's true but a lot of young cops look at the more experienced memebers on the force for guidence and teaching. So if Carl never did this, Carmichael may have beomce an officer like Evans.
@@superlex611 However given we never see Evans again and assuming he was fired and arrested for his behaviour I like to think Carmichael did the right thing and told the truth on what happened redeming himself.
I remember working for the NYPD volunteer a few years ago. I never had an issue with anyone at my job. No matter if you were black, white, hispanic, asian, etc. I just treated everyone the same and never had issues at my job. People would get mad once in a while but they realize that I was just doing my job. Treat everyone with respect and you won't have issues. Respect goes a long way.
Bad cops like Evans make me sick. I have nothing but respect for the good cops out there that put their asses on the line for citizens everyday. Bad cops use their power and authority to get what they want, harass who they want, and it sickens me. Good cops like Carl are what we need.
Because he realized Carmichael was a good guy who made a terrible mistake. It was in that moment, he wished Carl was his partner because he could've learned a lot from him. There was supposed to be a part 2 where Carl files the complaint against Evans. Eddie finally meets Carmichael and he apologizes for what happened. He mentions that Carl gave him a lot to think about after their conversation. Only then, Eddie sees the remorse in Carmichael's eyes in what he done. Evans tries to defend himself, but Carmichael is so disillusioned by his denial. He confesses to the commissioner what Evans done and including how he threatened Carmichael with his badge if he tried to defend Eddie. How he tacked on false traffic violations and lied about the appearance of the car jacker(who was a white man) just because he didn't want a black kid in a white neighborhood. Evans tries to threaten him to shut up, but he refuses. Carmichael proves it with the evidence he had from the tape recordings of him threatening Eddie and the false traffic violation tickets he filed. He tells Evans off that Carl was right about him. He is a slime ball who doesn't deserve his badge and Carmichael will testify against him. The commissioner hears enough, strips Evans off his badge and tells him off that real cops don't discriminate other based on race. That he's a disgrace to good police officers everywhere and has him arrested for racially profiling Eddie along with other charges in threatening Carmichael into compliance. At Evans' trial, several witnesses at the café including the waitress willingly testify against him for his behavior. They praise Carl for being a model officer in telling him off what everyone really thought of him. As it turned out, Evans has not only been racist, but also a sexist towards women. Carmichael kept true to his promise and testified against him who is later found guilty and put away in prison for a long time. Afterwards, Carmichael requests to be transferred to Carl's precinct because he wants a partner who is wise and can teach him the ropes of being a good cop.
There was supposed to be a scene where Harriette and Mother Winslow actually calls Carl out for what he's done. They pointed out that Laura and Steve had faced racism in the past. If Carl was willing to help them out, he should've done the same for Eddie. He agrees, but points out that he's mad at Eddie because he broke his promise to come home after work at Mighty Weenie and he thought the latter went back on his word. Harriette mentions that he was working late because he had to help his boss with managing the finances and doing inventory. She and Mother Winslow convinces Carl to get the story from the other cops who arrested Eddie before he makes any judgment.
With respect, it has changed for the worst. Even people who are non-racist and speak up against racism still get accused of racism. They've even began to add bogus definitions of racism to justify these racism accusations
I remember seeing this episode when I was five. As a white kid learning about Martin Luther King, through my parents and school, this was so confusing to me because it was happening in the present day. My dad explained (in age appropriate terms) that Martin Luther King passes away accomplishing great things, but lots of work had to still be done. It made me really, really sad for days. Looking back on this now, I can’t believe people act like the BLM movement came out of nowhere. This is from a SITCOM but the very real racial tensions between police and minorities are so pointed and accurate.
Yeah, but the difference is in their handling of that issue. BLM are a bunch of privileged kids who only want to cause trouble. Dr. King and this sitcom handled the issue maturely and the right way.
BLM is a fraudulent organization. The people who started it kept all the money for themselves and did nothing for the neighborhoods. They ignored actual criminals, or made them into martyrs. They also never held their own accountable for choices those people made. Then they tried to call anyone a racist that dared to point out their faults. Meanwhile their neighborhoods burned down around them in "mostly peaceful " protests. BLM movement is a lie when they don't seem to care about all black lives.
3:36 "I really don't know how that badge stays on, because it's pinned to slime." You tell him because no one is above the law including the locals & every law enforcement in the world. We do need more people like Carl to stand up against corruptions now & again.
I think before they hire a person to be a cop, they should be tested to see if they are racist or show discrimination. If they do, they shouldn't be hired.
I totally agree, it should be in all of the Police District's classrooms on how to confront one another and have them be accountable & aware of their mistakes!
Actually it was a lot worse then. Just cause it didn’t get reported, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. These days harassment is still lighter. If a cop shoots an unarmed person, they are at least suspended if not tried. It’ll take a couple more decades for cops to serve time, but it’ll happen.
I agree ! But the thing is we can't change anything. If we want change the only solution I see is to become a cop and change it ourselves! ( just an opinion).
@@aidanw5660 outcasted passed up for promotion and specialized units even though they are highly qualified. Targeted with harsh punishments for every minor mistake
@@aidanw5660 yep thats why I say more community involvement is needed to protect good cops they can't put food on the table with just the words good job
It's not only them. I'm Hispanic and I've gone thru my share of profiling and stop and frisk/pullover and frisk. Never spent a day in jail or anything serious. I can only imagine what blacks go thru.
xYouthAttackx I don't know about other latinos, but Mexicans hate blacks. Which is a shame because there is sooo much more strength in numbers. Blacks and latinos together make up 30% of the US population!!! Once Mexican Americans let go of that petty hate, we can make some real progress.
I'm from mexican descent and i don't hate blacks. I think the ones who hate blacks were raised in 100% mexican/hispanic neighborhoods. Hate is taught from a young age. If neighborhoods were more diverse, hate would not exist.
This is my favorite 90s show. It made you laugh, but it touched on serious issues as well. This truly was an awesome show and this is a very powerful scene. Here we are years later, and we're still going through the same thing....
It is unfortunate that sitcoms these days do not seem to let real world issues intrude on their bubble much anymore. The days of the "very special episode" are clearly in the past. The view seems to be that, if such an episode were made today, parents might protest & say, "We do not need your show to teach our kids a lesson. We can do that ourselves."
Eric Andrews, my point exactly. These parents need to let shows teach the kids lessons so that sitcoms can be good again. I miss sitcoms from the 1990's.
@@aztecwrrior1997 Carl Winslow would call on Steve Wilkos. They both work for Chicago PD. They would team up and call on a judge in another city in another state.

Carl is soooo right! Jack Evans is slime. Not only is Jack slime, he's a wicked fool. The police has received a terrible name, thanks to cops like him! Kenny, on the other hand, needs to have a more logical choice in company.
I know. Had I been Carmichael and I seen Evans racially harassing Eddie for something he didn't do, I would've said "Evans, stop it. The poor boy hasn't done anything wrong. Let's just leave him alone."
This episode aired on January 21, 1994. Here we are, 26 years later in June 2020, and this episode’s message still stands, given the current reasons for the protests and rioting in the United States. This is utterly heartbreaking.
This country was built on racism There is no fixing it Its all just wishful thinking You can file a complaint Or have an investigation But its far too late for that
I like how the second the waitress gets Carl's food to put on the table, he actually says thanks. Most movies and shows just ignore the server and keep things going. It doesn't matter what skin color you or they are, always say thanks to service workers. :)
Is that why you made him get out of his car? Is that why you forced him to lie down? Is that why you cuffed him? I actually felt chills up my spine when I first saw that episode and this scene. Definitely some great acting by Reginald VelJohnson
By trying to leave when Carl got there, Evans was showing his guilt, I could never have respect for someone like that, Evans REALLY is a glob of slime!
Carmichael was the one who knew he screwed up and was remorseful for it. On the other hand, Evans was a proud racist who didn't give a flying fuck and it's why he deserved to be called a racist slime ball by Carl for what he did
Reginald is awesome in this role. This show was awesome and wish it was still going. This scene is a time where he realizes his mistake in questioning Eddies side of the story and rectified it like a humble pro.
This episode becomes a lot more depressing after the Laquan McDonald scandal. Eddie was kind of lucky: all he was subjected to was harassment. Before body cameras, that cop could have easily shot Eddie, and claimed self-defense.
Pretty much can say anything before video evidence. Even til this day, the police question the videos and say "well we really can't tell much from the video"
Nathan Seper and the sad part, he would be cleared of any wrongdoing. if this went to court, his lawyer would argue that Edward Winslow jumped out of his car and tried to assault Officer Evans and Officer Carmichael and Evans had to open fire. he walks and continues his harass and douche police work.
I've seen this powerful scene on numerous occasions, including when it first aired. I came back here to see if more people had commented since the whole George Floyd ordeal.
Totally different situation from George Floyd, Eddie was pulled over simply for being black, Carl actually did his research and found out Evans did stop Eddie unlawfully. George Floyd was detained for attempting to pass counterfeit money and was high on meth and fentanyl. Now there was excessive force used, and that Officer has been fired and charged as he should have been. But let’s get something straight here, George Floyd was in no way shape or form a law abiding good citizen and is NOT WORTH all the Riots, Death and Damage his death has caused.
@@jackthomas6952 The riots are not just about him, he was only the tipping point. Open your eyes. This has been going on far too long and the cops have gotten a pass far too often. It's time to defund and reallocate resources to entities better suited with dealing with issues the cops have no business dealing with (mental illness, addiction, etc.).
@@michaelrobins1866 I never said it only happens in America. Anything to argue as usual. I'm well aware racism is a global issue. This scene needs to be scene in America now more than ever, mainly by those who deny it exists. That's why I stated what I did.
There was a scene at the end of one episode of Family Matters where Ritchie and his friend made a bet on whether Carl looked a lot like Phillip Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I don't remember who won the bet but Phil actually paid a visit to the Winslow home! I thought it was neat that Carl and Phil met face to face.
I actually remember watching this episode, and I knew Eddie was harassed because of his race, but now that I know there was more too it, this scene is effective. Reginald VelJohnson was brilliant in this scene.
Sometimes a powerful moment in a show or movie can become engrained in your memory. I saw this for the first time when it came out as I loved this show when I was a kid. I never forgot it and it hits even harder today.
Carl is the type of man one should root for in life. Ethical, hard working, a great father and willing to admit when he made a bad judgement call, as in the case of Eddie telling him that he was racially profiled and Carl at first didn't want to believe it. Later, he confronts the bigot cops and puts them in their place for messing with his son....fantastic father!
Carl should have won an award, such as an Golden Globe or even Oscar. He had every right to be upset for the racist cop pulling over his innocent son. Carl was tough but handled the situation as a classy gentleman. One of my favorite scenes growing up as a child. Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud. God Bless.
This was a powerful scene. It's appalling just how much it still resonances with the world we live in. And I know anything else would've broke the pace of the scene, but Carl paid for his cruller and his coffee but didn't even eat it. That got me since the first time I saw it as a little kid.

Family matters season 5 good cop bad cop. When Sgt Carl Winslow is talking about his son Eddie Winslow.
I think the younger cop could become a good cop.
Yes!!! 😊
Fun fact: that's the dad from Stranger Things.
@@ronburgundy244 interesting! I'll finally forgive you for what you said!
I wished Carmichael got mentored under Carl because he could've learned a lot from him, over a racist jerk like Evans
@@ladyfire44 maybe he did. Also maybe Family Matters takes place in the same universe as The Lucy Show, and hes Lucille Carmichael's son
I can't lie This was without a doubt the Best episode of Family Matters. Carl knew exactly what was going on, and with the things going on today with cop's this was very emotional and appropriate.
+B-money Cisco I Agree On That!
Exactly
B-money Cisco Yup Police Officers Can Be Nice People!
There are many cops out there that are good, but sometimes they just make bad decisions Vincent Niederman
B-money Cisco True And I Agree!
The sad truth is racism will always be with us. That doesn't mean we have to accept or condone it.
"Your partner is one of the bad guys..." That hits hard
"I don't know how that badge stays on, because it's pinned to slime."
Smedis2 talk about crash and burn
Smedis2 lmao
Roasted to the core
Smedis2 those white cops are bitch and made me cry because of those white cops did to Carl son
Man, you can tell Evans wasn't feelin himself then lol oh man I'm weeaak
Carl Winslow didn't take no shit.
really didnt
Nor did uncle phil
Except from Urkel
officer winslow getting on they asses and that's how a father cop handle problems...
+Astro Bear True He Did Handle This Problem By Himself!
Yes he has done it to let it be known that
Astro Bear Oh Yeah Carl is a Good Police Officer On The Show!
Facts Yo.
Vincent Niederman yes always have always will be a good police you ain't lying either...
How did Reginald VelJohnson not win an Emmy for this role?
Because everybody was jizzing in their pants over Seinfeld. Yes that show was funny but not THAT funny. Family Matters was very underrated and should've gotten more recognition.
I Never Watched Seinfeld. I Found Out It's In The Top 3 Most Overrated Sitcoms Of All Time.
Because it was a show meant for kids as part of the TGIF block. Akin to Saturday morning cartoons. Unfortunately.
@@stevarino1989 exactly.
@@diddliewinks3486 Fuck that shit. It’s all about quality. Unfortunately in terms of awards shows, ESPECIALLY how the Academy revealed their true colors, it’s not the case.
Man, didn't think I'd tear up at the end. Watched that episode as a kid and it's just as powerful today as it was 25 years ago. Miss television shows that have good messages in every episode.
Had to go back in watch this Episode with what's going on now.
I teared up to😢
I teared up too man.
I think evan's partner knew that he was a trouble cop, but didn't want to admit it until carl made him realize it at the end!
His face says it all...
He knew it and regretted not standing up to Evans when he had the chance. Carl knew Carmichael was a good cop who made a terrible mistake in following his partner. It was in that moment that he wished Carl was his partner instead because he could've learned a lot from him.
@@ladyfire44 too bad Carmichael should have appearing in more episode
@@ladyfire44 Not sure if it's true but a lot of young cops look at the more experienced memebers on the force for guidence and teaching. So if Carl never did this, Carmichael may have beomce an officer like Evans.
@@superlex611 However given we never see Evans again and assuming he was fired and arrested for his behaviour I like to think Carmichael did the right thing and told the truth on what happened redeming himself.
@@blackdemonknight that is obvious
I remember working for the NYPD volunteer a few years ago. I never had an issue with anyone at my job. No matter if you were black, white, hispanic, asian, etc. I just treated everyone the same and never had issues at my job. People would get mad once in a while but they realize that I was just doing my job. Treat everyone with respect and you won't have issues. Respect goes a long way.
I did not know you could volunteer for the NYPD. Good for you for giving them a hand👍
Problem is very few black people respect the police anymore…
And now every ♠️ tries to play the ghetto lottery with the cops
🙏🇺🇸
That goes for Canadians as well
@@TheGreatSalsaMan you ever think to wonder why?
Sadly this happens for real all too often. Cops like this are a disgrace to all the good ones.
Yeah i know, it's depressing if you ask me
Imagine how Carl would've been treated if he hadn't worn his uniform
Imagine if that punk Evans didn't have a uniform
Yes. Evans Would've Gotten Cussed Out By Black Customers.
@@allencollins1617 That Evans also would've gotten his lights punched out by another Evans named James Senior from Good Times
That's a great comment.
😔
The world needs cops like Carl.Better yet,the world needs Carl.
Bad cops like Evans make me sick. I have nothing but respect for the good cops out there that put their asses on the line for citizens everyday. Bad cops use their power and authority to get what they want, harass who they want, and it sickens me. Good cops like Carl are what we need.
yeah my sentiments exactly Evans is a bad cop ***** I like the good cops I respect the good cops myself
Nicely said paisan...
I third what you say.
JTC it was painful to watch
eastwing329 I noticed that his first name is Jack. "Jackass" fits him far better.
I like how Carl was a father figure to the rookie. That was cool.
"Don't mess with me, a good friend of mine single-handily took out a dozen terrorists in L.A. once!"
LOL!!!
WELCOME TO THE PARTY PAL!
Carl of Duty.
Happy Trails, Hans 😂😂😂😂
Then he took out an entire Special Forces unit with a lighter.
I like how Carl doesn't completely write off the young cop and has a small chat with him before leaving.
Because he realized Carmichael was a good guy who made a terrible mistake. It was in that moment, he wished Carl was his partner because he could've learned a lot from him.
There was supposed to be a part 2 where Carl files the complaint against Evans. Eddie finally meets Carmichael and he apologizes for what happened. He mentions that Carl gave him a lot to think about after their conversation. Only then, Eddie sees the remorse in Carmichael's eyes in what he done.
Evans tries to defend himself, but Carmichael is so disillusioned by his denial. He confesses to the commissioner what Evans done and including how he threatened Carmichael with his badge if he tried to defend Eddie. How he tacked on false traffic violations and lied about the appearance of the car jacker(who was a white man) just because he didn't want a black kid in a white neighborhood. Evans tries to threaten him to shut up, but he refuses. Carmichael proves it with the evidence he had from the tape recordings of him threatening Eddie and the false traffic violation tickets he filed. He tells Evans off that Carl was right about him. He is a slime ball who doesn't deserve his badge and Carmichael will testify against him. The commissioner hears enough, strips Evans off his badge and tells him off that real cops don't discriminate other based on race. That he's a disgrace to good police officers everywhere and has him arrested for racially profiling Eddie along with other charges in threatening Carmichael into compliance.
At Evans' trial, several witnesses at the café including the waitress willingly testify against him for his behavior. They praise Carl for being a model officer in telling him off what everyone really thought of him. As it turned out, Evans has not only been racist, but also a sexist towards women. Carmichael kept true to his promise and testified against him who is later found guilty and put away in prison for a long time. Afterwards, Carmichael requests to be transferred to Carl's precinct because he wants a partner who is wise and can teach him the ropes of being a good cop.
One problem your partner is one of the bad guys
@@ladyfire44 wowwww!!!! I sure wish we could have seen that!
He just realize that Carmichael is an immature cop, being ruled over the bully cop.
Officer Evans is a real bully, I'm glad Carl Winslow called him out for it.
I remember how Eddie was so hurt for his father not believing him, that as well as this were very powerful scenes. Great show
There was supposed to be a scene where Harriette and Mother Winslow actually calls Carl out for what he's done. They pointed out that Laura and Steve had faced racism in the past. If Carl was willing to help them out, he should've done the same for Eddie. He agrees, but points out that he's mad at Eddie because he broke his promise to come home after work at Mighty Weenie and he thought the latter went back on his word. Harriette mentions that he was working late because he had to help his boss with managing the finances and doing inventory. She and Mother Winslow convinces Carl to get the story from the other cops who arrested Eddie before he makes any judgment.
That's awesome to know I would love someday to see these deleted/extended scenes from family matters
This show was so ahead of it's time and to figure this hits harder now . Nothing has changed
Load of crap
So was that song by N.W.A. and that one song by Michael Jackson!
With respect, it has changed for the worst. Even people who are non-racist and speak up against racism still get accused of racism. They've even began to add bogus definitions of racism to justify these racism accusations
Great show but this was going on before the show , waaaaay before
True
I remember seeing this episode when I was five. As a white kid learning about Martin Luther King, through my parents and school, this was so confusing to me because it was happening in the present day. My dad explained (in age appropriate terms) that Martin Luther King passes away accomplishing great things, but lots of work had to still be done. It made me really, really sad for days.
Looking back on this now, I can’t believe people act like the BLM movement came out of nowhere. This is from a SITCOM but the very real racial tensions between police and minorities are so pointed and accurate.
Yeah, but the difference is in their handling of that issue. BLM are a bunch of privileged kids who only want to cause trouble.
Dr. King and this sitcom handled the issue maturely and the right way.
And now that we know what BLM really was, a gigantic scam preying on people's sense of moral outrage, don't we just feel stupid?
Have you read up on blm? If you did maybe you will change your tune, they stole a lot of money that could of gone towards good
Your dad sounds like a solid dude
BLM is a fraudulent organization. The people who started it kept all the money for themselves and did nothing for the neighborhoods. They ignored actual criminals, or made them into martyrs. They also never held their own accountable for choices those people made.
Then they tried to call anyone a racist that dared to point out their faults. Meanwhile their neighborhoods burned down around them in "mostly peaceful " protests.
BLM movement is a lie when they don't seem to care about all black lives.
I'll take a cup of coffee... Black
Shit got real.
Edgar Allen Poe Yes It Did This Personal Scene is My #1 Favorite In Any Sitcom Show Family Matters is Another Favorite of Mine At #2!
I felt that 💯
3:36 "I really don't know how that badge stays on, because it's pinned to slime." You tell him because no one is above the law including the locals & every law enforcement in the world. We do need more people like Carl to stand up against corruptions now & again.
This scene should be required viewing for every officer in training.
Yes, two coppers having coffee with their back to the entrance. Horrible officer safety.
There are two sides to every story be objective
Anthony DelVecchio the law is the law
I think before they hire a person to be a cop, they should be tested to see if they are racist or show discrimination. If they do, they shouldn't be hired.
I totally agree, it should be in all of the Police District's classrooms on how to confront one another and have them be accountable & aware of their mistakes!
I hate how not a single thing has changed since this episode aired.
It just got worse thru out the decades..... miss the 90's
Actually it was a lot worse then. Just cause it didn’t get reported, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. These days harassment is still lighter. If a cop shoots an unarmed person, they are at least suspended if not tried. It’ll take a couple more decades for cops to serve time, but it’ll happen.
@Dark Demonik Latino Isn't a race
@Dark Demonik most of you Latinos are as much racist as white people.
If anything it’s only gotten worse
Good guys against the bad guys. There's one problem son. Your partner is one of the bad guys.
it's a sad example, how some cops abuse there power
Some people become police officers for a very wrong reason
They are suppose to protect every community not profile and harrass people.
I agree ! But the thing is we can't change anything. If we want change the only solution I see is to become a cop and change it ourselves! ( just an opinion).
"Some"?
A lot of them are
The world would be a better place if good cops had the courage to call out bad cops.
They do all the time and they pay dearly for it
@@cmcneil233 how do they pay dearly for it? (Actual question)
@@aidanw5660 outcasted passed up for promotion and specialized units even though they are highly qualified. Targeted with harsh punishments for every minor mistake
@@cmcneil233 all because they called out a cop who wasn’t doing his job right?!🤦🏾🤦🏾
@@aidanw5660 yep thats why I say more community involvement is needed to protect good cops they can't put food on the table with just the words good job
it's amazing how much this scene reflects on what's going on in today's society, with cops and the African American community.
It's not only them. I'm Hispanic and I've gone thru my share of profiling and stop and frisk/pullover and frisk. Never spent a day in jail or anything serious. I can only imagine what blacks go thru.
Im so sorry my brown brotha, they will forever hate us (tears)
xYouthAttackx I don't know about other latinos, but Mexicans hate blacks. Which is a shame because there is sooo much more strength in numbers. Blacks and latinos together make up 30% of the US population!!! Once Mexican Americans let go of that petty hate, we can make some real progress.
I'm from mexican descent and i don't hate blacks. I think the ones who hate blacks were raised in 100% mexican/hispanic neighborhoods. Hate is taught from a young age. If neighborhoods were more diverse, hate would not exist.
I am white and I have gone through that. I just think some cops are bad cops.
This is my favorite 90s show. It made you laugh, but it touched on serious issues as well. This truly was an awesome show and this is a very powerful scene. Here we are years later, and we're still going through the same thing....
It is unfortunate that sitcoms these days do not seem to let real world issues intrude on their bubble much anymore. The days of the "very special episode" are clearly in the past. The view seems to be that, if such an episode were made today, parents might protest & say, "We do not need your show to teach our kids a lesson. We can do that ourselves."
LJ808 Mine's too
LJ808 Same thing with Fresh Prince!
Eric Andrews, my point exactly. These parents need to let shows teach the kids lessons so that sitcoms can be good again. I miss sitcoms from the 1990's.
This show started in 80's
"You're partner is one of the bad guys." The relevance here is astounding.
Carl should have gave Philip Banks a call. He would make sure justice is served!
@Ike N thats the one problem uncle phil is in Bel-air and Carl is in Chicago
Excactly
@@aztecwrrior1997 Carl Winslow would call on Steve Wilkos. They both work for Chicago PD. They would team up and call on a judge in another city in another state.

Back in the days when tv dealt with real life family issues and situations such as this.

Carl Winslow is truly the definition that not all cops are bad. His character, I love it
Carl is soooo right! Jack Evans is slime. Not only is Jack slime, he's a wicked fool. The police has received a terrible name, thanks to cops like him! Kenny, on the other hand, needs to have a more logical choice in company.
I know. Had I been Carmichael and I seen Evans racially harassing Eddie for something he didn't do, I would've said "Evans, stop it. The poor boy hasn't done anything wrong. Let's just leave him alone."
@@ladyfire44 because Carmichael did'nt had the power to do it, and Evans is a snake so negative towards people

.....Badge that was pinned to slime
Yeah it was!!
BINGO!!
George Floyd is a mason.
cry harder
Chauvin is worse than slime.
Steve,Carl,and Estelle are the reason I love this show because they have courage to stand up for themselves and my favorite characters
This episode aired on January 21, 1994. Here we are, 26 years later in June 2020, and this episode’s message still stands, given the current reasons for the protests and rioting in the United States. This is utterly heartbreaking.
SN: This episode aired exactly 2 days before I was born so I feel an even stronger connection to this scene.
This country was built on racism
There is no fixing it
Its all just wishful thinking
You can file a complaint
Or have an investigation
But its far too late for that
Indeed
Fortunately technology today is allowing racism to be exposed now.
NASdaq dowJONES Where are your facts?
the real issue is we are still fighting the same fight today.
PS: I remember watching this episode when it 1st aired. no reruns!
exactly bro
this show is way better than Cosby?
+Jerome Holloman agreed
thank u!!
thank u!!
I like how the second the waitress gets Carl's food to put on the table, he actually says thanks. Most movies and shows just ignore the server and keep things going. It doesn't matter what skin color you or they are, always say thanks to service workers. :)
Is that why you made him get out of his car? Is that why you forced him to lie down? Is that why you cuffed him?
I actually felt chills up my spine when I first saw that episode and this scene. Definitely some great acting by Reginald VelJohnson
Anyone else hate Evans immediately after he tried leaving when he saw Carl.
You even heard the hate in his voice when he said sergeant.
He is a severe racist. That was the first giveaway.
By trying to leave when Carl got there, Evans was showing his guilt, I could never have respect for someone like that, Evans REALLY is a glob of slime!
Yeah as soon as I saw him I already Hated him
Honestly though I hate Evans as well you've got to give prop to the actor who played him making you feel like yeah he's racist asshole
Amazing how this message resonates today. If only there were more cops like Officer Carl Winslow.
One of the best scenes in television history.
We need more sitcoms like this on TV nowadays. Real life issues.
Theres great tv shows tacking these issues but no sitcoms
Stephen R They don't really make them like they use too!
This is a great show!
We need more real life Carl Winslows in the Police Force.

All over America.
2:50 Carl is so angry he'll wait on that cruller.
I doubt it. He lost his appetite after confronting Evans for being a racist slime ball for his actions against Eddie.
ladyfire44 because he is angry towards Evans, during their conversation Evans was acting so stupid and pretending
Neha Mattapallil but Evans did'nt know and still was kept negative
Carmichael was the one who knew he screwed up and was remorseful for it. On the other hand, Evans was a proud racist who didn't give a flying fuck and it's why he deserved to be called a racist slime ball by Carl for what he did
@@ladyfire44 he is, and normally he could be fired
I grew up in the 90s and this moment instilled a lot of self respect and reverence into my adult life
We need more police officers like Carl
For reals 😢😢❤
Reginald is awesome in this role. This show was awesome and wish it was still going. This scene is a time where he realizes his mistake in questioning Eddies side of the story and rectified it like a humble pro.
Same
This episode becomes a lot more depressing after the Laquan McDonald scandal. Eddie was kind of lucky: all he was subjected to was harassment. Before body cameras, that cop could have easily shot Eddie, and claimed self-defense.
well said
Thank you very much.
Pretty much can say anything before video evidence. Even til this day, the police question the videos and say "well we really can't tell much from the video"
Nathan Seper and the sad part, he would be cleared of any wrongdoing. if this went to court, his lawyer would argue that Edward Winslow jumped out of his car and tried to assault Officer Evans and Officer Carmichael and Evans had to open fire. he walks and continues his harass and douche police work.
PhoenixFIrebird the obvious systems to get acquittted
We need all good cops around today like Carl Winslow👮🏾♂️✊🏽✊🏽
YES WE DO
I like the touch of class when Carl pays/tips for his uneaten food.
He was too pissed off with Evans to eat his cruller.
@@ladyfire44 I figured he just bought it since he was occupying space in the restaurant.
He was angry to eat his cruller.
And how he treated Carmichael. He felt bad
I’m here after hearing about George Floyd. This episode shows that this has been a serious problem in society for way too long.
I've seen this powerful scene on numerous occasions, including when it first aired. I came back here to see if more people had commented since the whole George Floyd ordeal.
I'll see your George Floyd and raise you a Daniel Saver, Dillon Tailor, Kelly Thomas, Jeff Weinhaus, Robert Leone, Luis Rodriguez, and John T Williams
been a problem, a portion of the american population has been telling the majority but they didn't care or didn't want to know.
Totally different situation from George Floyd, Eddie was pulled over simply for being black, Carl actually did his research and found out Evans did stop Eddie unlawfully. George Floyd was detained for attempting to pass counterfeit money and was high on meth and fentanyl. Now there was excessive force used, and that Officer has been fired and charged as he should have been. But let’s get something straight here, George Floyd was in no way shape or form a law abiding good citizen and is NOT WORTH all the Riots, Death and Damage his death has caused.
@@jackthomas6952 The riots are not just about him, he was only the tipping point. Open your eyes. This has been going on far too long and the cops have gotten a pass far too often. It's time to defund and reallocate resources to entities better suited with dealing with issues the cops have no business dealing with (mental illness, addiction, etc.).
America needs to see this now more than ever. Legendary scene.
Yeah cause racism only happens in America 🙄.
@@michaelrobins1866 I never said it only happens in America. Anything to argue as usual. I'm well aware racism is a global issue. This scene needs to be scene in America now more than ever, mainly by those who deny it exists. That's why I stated what I did.
@@marianosantiniello2213 o.k. Some people make it sound like it though.
imagine if Carl and Uncle Phil met. They would be good friends ngl
Uncle Phil was on the show
There was a scene at the end of one episode of Family Matters where Ritchie and his friend made a bet on whether Carl looked a lot like Phillip Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I don't remember who won the bet but Phil actually paid a visit to the Winslow home! I thought it was neat that Carl and Phil met face to face.
ruclips.net/video/fALZZomCCWA/видео.html
Michael Hatten I saw the clip
I believe they where good friends in real life
I actually remember watching this episode, and I knew Eddie was harassed because of his race, but now that I know there was more too it, this scene is effective. Reginald VelJohnson was brilliant in this scene.
Family Matters was a clean family orientated show like the Cosby Show, but it did tackle some issues Cosby didn't
I agree
The cosby show was a great show, but it failed to tackle real-life issues
Family Matters Was Clean-Oriented Show, Like Themselves, An Originality.
Cosby Show didn't want to tackle these issues. However, it's spinoff, A Diffrent World, did.
There are like 3 episodes that Eddie got arrested. This one has to be the most fucked up arrest tho.
Jermaine Martinez Perez He got into a stolen car with his cousin, I forgot the second time, and then this one.
I think he got arrested for gambling with Steve on another episode
Sometimes a powerful moment in a show or movie can become engrained in your memory. I saw this for the first time when it came out as I loved this show when I was a kid. I never forgot it and it hits even harder today.
Facts
Still relevant smh
Sadly, that will always be relevant so long as we have racist cops in the world!
as well as record breaking black on black crime that is ignored to put focus on the white man.
Cherish G very much so still sad til this day
Cherish G no kidding. It’s sad how slow progress is.
We will get there, though. One glorious day.
geddoe316 those are 2 seperate issues
He didn't even wanna shake his hand. Dude was racist from the jump!
Carl is the type of man one should root for in life.
Ethical, hard working, a great father and willing to admit when he made a bad judgement call, as in the case of Eddie telling him that he was racially profiled and Carl at first didn't want to believe it. Later, he confronts the bigot cops and puts them in their place for messing with his son....fantastic father!
Only Evans was the bigot.
And Carmichael the puppet.
Love this scene with Carl backing his son up, in a white coffee shop 👍🏿
Carl should have won an award, such as an Golden Globe or even Oscar. He had every right to be upset for the racist cop pulling over his innocent son. Carl was tough but handled the situation as a classy gentleman. One of my favorite scenes growing up as a child. Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud. God Bless.

This was a powerful scene. It's appalling just how much it still resonances with the world we live in.
And I know anything else would've broke the pace of the scene, but Carl paid for his cruller and his coffee but didn't even eat it. That got me since the first time I saw it as a little kid.
He was too angry with Evans for his racial profiling of Eddie to want the coffee and cruller
After seeing recent events, this episode’s message NEEDS to be heard
