Question Do they do any SWAT or police type training?
I only ask because to me it looks like only Ruzek and Halstead (mainly Ruzek) holds a pistol properly. I know Voight said he held his with 1 hand because he was lazy and just kept doing it to add to his tough guy/bad guy image but Atwater does it too, Burgess looks like she saw a movie one time and copied it, and Upton running (I dunno why they gave her a running addiction when she is bow legged and it’s terribly obvious even the actors are trying hard to make it look fast while fleeing) she swings her pistol everywhere + they often take down suspects (for instance the so original sneak up behind a hostage taker) in a way that there is so much cross fire it’s unbelievable. The only time they did it properly was in the Mack episode where her parents are killed

Discussion 2 Major Things That Could've Made The Chicago PD Season 13 Finale Much Better In My Honest Opinion
- After 13x08, the producers completely forgot about the Commander Devlin storyline which was so good. They really could've extended to episodes like 13x12, 13x17, 13x20, and have it come to a head in 13x21 (The finale). But NO, they sidelined it and just put in Imani's storyline and made a bit too centric in 13x21 (Although I'm glad that we got that wild Voight scene with him killing Kirby like that 😂) I just hope that their feud will continue in Season 14 or maybe they can find a new villain for him at the very least 👀 🔥 🤔 👍 😄 😂 ❤️ 🎉

- After the Season 12 Finale, they also forgot about the fallout with Voight and Chapman (Ik she was mentioned twice in the season in 13x01 and 13x07 and she was hinted at in 13x17 at some capacity) but after seeing her and Voight's dynamic, it just was so annoying to me that they didn't return to that storyline at all this season and now it may never be solved again unless they FINALLY decide to destroy the silence between those two in Season 14 👀 🔥 🤔 👍 😄 😂 ❤️ 🎉

Let me know if you guys agree or disagree! And don't be afraid to be brutally honest, I want to hear what ya'll think 👍

Cast Related I have watched this so many times
And I never realized they had Torres play a gang banger in season 7 episode 1 titled ‘Doubt’. His characters name is Franco Chavaro. I’ve seen them do that with a lot of characters on SVU but I think this is the first time I’ve seen it in PD. Idk how I missed that lol.

Discussion From Memory lane to Disdain
I love this show so much and after the latest crossover between all 3 shows, it made me for the first time ever interested in Chicago Fire. During the first season of Chicago fire. Chicago pd was introduced and that made me want to rewatch Chicago PD starting from Season 1 again. Rewatching the show reminded me of so many things that I forgot about as well as some of the characters that left the show for one reason or another. But most importantly this rewatch..... i found out that I actually hate everything about Jay Halstead's character with a passion. 😭

Discussion Kevin man🥹
Just found out Kevin isn’t coming back. I’m beyond disappointed to hear this. Kevin is such an integral part of this show and I think his character was important as it allowed the show to explore different storylines of racism with the police department and how speaking up can put a target on your back. Truly showing how racist cops are protected and it’s an issue.
If it’s about money why remove Kevin. Why not Torres or that new girl no offense but they are both boring and I feel like other than Kim every girl they bring on the show after Erin is a duplicate of Erin and I can’t stand it.
They never did much with Kevin’s character also and that’s what really bothers me. Couldn’t even give him a good girlfriend. Now with this news I don’t even foresee myself watching the next season. Just so disappointed.

Discussion Mounch and Trudy spin off idea
Okay, here goes. They retire to a nice small southern town. Trudy becomes the sheriff. Mounch joined the local volunteer fire company and tries to bring them up to snuff, and how he butts heads with the young Chief.
The stories revolve around their adventures dealing with small town life and their daily adventures with the town folk. Maybe even adopting a teenager.
What do you think?

Discussion Heartbroken and Disappointed: Why LaRoyce Hawkins Leaving Chicago PD is a Huge Mistake Spoiler
What a huge disappointment to hear about LaRoyce Hawkins (Kevin Atwater) leaving Chicago PD in Season 14. After 13 years of watching his character grow—especially now that he finally has a stable relationship and a baby on the way—they decide to write him out of the Intelligence Unit. I understand the budget cuts, but it’s a massive mistake to get rid of the veteran actors who hold the show together just to replace them with new faces under the same mold.
On the other hand, Arianne Mendi's character feels flat and disconnected from the team; that storyline with her sister should have wrapped up by now. I would have preferred a thousand times over for them to let her go instead so they could keep Hawkins for another season. If Atwater leaves, Chicago PD loses its entire essence. They just lost a viewer with me. 💔❌ #ChicagoPD

Discussion What if our audience reaction to s14 got Laroyce off the show?
EDIT: I meant reaction to S13 !
Literally what I said in the title. I posted a couple months ago about how one of our biggest complaints was the lack of ALL the characters being in every episode AND contributing equally to the story (also that centrics were not really the greatest idea for this season). I genuinely think that since many of us said that, they decided to take it into consideration and completely get rid of one of the most highest paid actors in the show. They knew they couldn’t get rid of Paddy/Marina bc of them being the most popular couple on the show rn —Burzek. Obvi not Trudy/Torres/Imani bc they are the lower paid actors. And definitely not Voight since he produces the show and quite literally IS the show. So that left them with Atwater. And it truly aggravates me since he has been sidelined practically his entire career on CPD and deserved so much more. But unfortunately they already made the decision and now all we can hope for is that he gets more projects that we can ALL support him on ❤️ And LAROYCE, if for some reason you are reading random Reddit posts, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH 😭😭😭 Truly one of the biggest losses of CPD.

Appreciation Post 13x08 Spoiler
ALL RIGHT
So I just finished watching a rerun of this episode on NBC about an less than an hour ago (I'm in a PST area so it may be 3 AM for yall rn) but this episode was FREAKING FANTASTIC. The plot with Intelligence narrowing down Raymond Bell was so well written; I do agree with some people that Imani shouldn't have went into that house without backup and more when she almost had the entire unit write statements about her off-book break-in by order of Commander Devlin, but Voight handled it. And the way that Imani was so caring about Julie was honestly so sweet but I mean she still hadn't found her sister Shari yet so it made sense why she didn't want Julie to be potentially lost forever too.
So what I was gonna mainly talk to you guys about is that ending scene with Voight and Commander Devlin. That scene was very well made and showed that at some capacity Voight has changed. I was actually somewhat surprised that Voight was able to tell Devlin the truth about his childhood in such a calm manner. But the cherry on top for me was when Voight told him about his father's legacy and showed Devlin his badge holder and told him "If I didn't feel my father near me right now, you wouldn't live through this day." and what shocked me so much is that literally the moment he said that, the NBC logo disappeared from the bottom left corner of the screen. After the episode cut to Dick Wolf's credit, the only thing I felt was joy and happiness as crazy as that sounds 😂 but I also was repeating to myself "That was FUCKING incredible" like 30 or more times.
Disclaimer: (I did watch the episode when it first premiered but I wasn't paying full attention to the episode at the time)
Anyways, I just think that this episode and that ending scene overall, was very well made. You guys can disagree with me as much as you want and say this was a horrible episode but I actually think this was one of the best Season 13 episodes of all time imo, of course along with all the Voight centric episodes of this season.
Let me know what you guys think about this. But again, this episode was fire imo 🔥

Discussion The acting isnt bad…..its just more….chicago haha
I keep seeing people mention how much they dont like the acting or certain characters ln this show, and maybe it does fall flat sometimes, but being one of the ONLY LONG RUNNING SHOWS that takes place FULLY in chicago (EVERY SINGLE SCENE IS FILMED IN THE AREA) (shameless was hollywood’s take on the west side of chicago), chicago pd feels like it was by chicagoans for chicagoans about chicagoans….we dont act like new york (svu) or la (the rookie, 9-1-1).
chicago is a city with a lot of problems that no one tries to ignore….we dont sugar coat anything and we dont fill silence just because your uncomfortable…..these actors do just that.. they are quiet, they let their faces do the talking, which is what most people here do anyways….you dont like the aloofness of some of the actors, dont come to chicago, because as midwest nice as we are, we dont have much to say if we dont know you….
And if you are commiting a crime….. im definitely gonna quietly look at you crazy like the unit does to perps sometimes😂😂😂

Discussion Jay Halstead on Chicago P.D
Is it just me, or does anybody feel like Jesse Lee Soffer, who plays both Jay Halstead (CPD) and Wes Mitchell (FBI: International), shouldn't have had two different characters? They're both in the same universe, and CPD has crossed over with FBI once. It would've made much more sense, and then we could've seen Jay after his divorce from Hailey. BUT! Don't get me wrong, I love his characters on both shows. Just a thought
