In next week’s new episode of FLASHOINT entitled “Good Cop” (Friday, July 15 at 8 p.m. ET on CTV), Team One is called to escort officer Bill Greeley (Max Martini, CASTLE) from the court house after he’s found innocent in the shooting of Luc Buteau (Ashley Brown), an unarmed black student. The crowd of angry protesters, led by Luc’s father Jean Paul (Julian D. Christopher, HUMAN TARGET), becomes a full-fledged riot under the sway of violent Black Bloc Anarchists targeting the police. During the melee, Greeley is abducted and Team One must race to rescue him from a vengeful and unexpected assailant.
