Brooklyn's Finest follows three crooked cops that all have something that they need to do in a specific time period. Don Chedle's character Tango was an undercover police officer that sold drugs in his neighborhood. Even though he took initiative and had potential be an asset to his community, Tango fell right back into the stereotypes that people label Black men as. This is an example of the consequences of race and ethnicity. People of color continue to confront stereotypes, prejudice, and racism. They are unable to overcome these factors, even after economic success. In the end of the film, Tango is murdered by another officer because he thought that he was another neighborhood hoodlum.
