ITT what if Columbo was black and solved types of crimes only found in the intercity projects
>be Lumumbo, LAPD homicide detective>wearing a beige trenchcoat that ain't been dry-cleaned since 1987>show up to Darius's craps game behind the laundromat on Crenshaw>scratch head, look confused>"Oh just one more thing...">pull out a Swisher Sweet and squint>"You see, my sister-in-law Denise, she loves craps">"And the thing about dice, you gotta wonder...">"...why they always land on 7 when Big Darius rollin'">pull out evidence bag with loaded dice from his trenchcoat>Darius starts sweating profusely>"Now I KNOW you didn't drill them dice yourself">"cause you got a record and you smart">"so who gave 'em to you, baby?">the whole block goes silent>even the ice cream truck stops playing>Darius snitches on his cousin Lil' Kevin immediately
>>221207580Lol
>>221207440
>>221207440BIPOColumbo will solve his next case, Where's Little Devon's Daddy?
Be smoking Black and Milds but freaks em on screen.
>>221209809Uhhh. He went out for cigarettes.
>>221207440His belief of not carrying guns would have to go out the window, too many people would not put up with his shit that rich intelligent preppy folk do
>So you were at on the job site from 8am to 6pm>yessuh>And after that you went to the supermarket>yesboss>Well I guess what confuses me sir is how you could perform either task while your food stamps were under your work boots.>dayum
That would be really boring. A big part if the appeal of Columbo was that he went after the rich who thought themselves untouchable.
>>221211181In real life Columbo would have commited sudoku under strange circumstances.
>>221207440I made a shitpost about how it wouldn't work the last time some /pol/fag was whining about the rich white clever villains in Columbo.Nigs kill each other and then immediately start crowing around town about how they just committed a murder - they even make social media updates about what they just did.
>>221207440Black police detectives give passes to hood niggas. Even David Simon said when he was working with ed Harris on his beat in Baltimore, the shady ones were mostly black
>>221211181this. Columbo only works because the killer is some smug wine aunt/architect/conductor who thinks a guy in a busted raincoat can't possibly be smarter than him. If he's just hassling some dude in a stairwell over a stolen PS5 it's not Columbo, it's an episode of COPS with better music. Make him go after slumlords, crooked aldermen, hospital admins, record execs etc and it works.
