    The ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ actor praises the creator Dick Wolf for ‘cleaning the house’ after the series spin-off writer threatened violence against looters.
    Jun 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rapper/actor Ice-T has applauded “Law & Order” creator Dick Wolf for taking immediate action to fire a series spin-off writer for threatening violence against looters during protests in Los Angeles.
    Craig Gore hit headlines on Monday, June 1, 2020 after he shared a series of controversial posts on Facebook, including a photo of himself carrying a firearm, as a warning to anyone who disobeyed the city’s curfew following violent clashes between demonstrators and police during Black Lives Matter rallies.
    “Sunset (Boulevard) is being looted two blocks from me,” he wrote. “You think I won’t light motherf**krs up who are trying to f**k with my property I worked all my life for? Think again.”
    Gore had been working on the forthcoming Chris Meloni show, “Law & Order: Organized Crime”, but Wolf condemned his actions and cut all ties with the writer on Tuesday. He was also fired by his Hollywood agency, Paradigm, as a result of the posts.
    And Ice-T, who is a series regular on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, is proud to have Wolf as his boss.
    “Oh s**t…,” the hip-hop veteran tweeted after learning of Gore’s firing. “The Big Boss is cleaning house… RESPECT.”
    The protests have continued across the U.S., demanding an end to police brutality and justice for George Floyd, an African-American man who was killed at the hands of a white cop on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

      Jun 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Law & Order” creator Dick Wolf has fired a writer on the show’s new spin-off after he made controversial remarks about Black Lives Matter protesters in Los Angeles.
      Craig Gore, who also worked on “S.W.A.T.” and “Chicago P.D.”, posted a series of posts on Facebook on Monday, June 01 condemning looters and sharing an image in which he is holding a weapon as a threat to those who disobey the city’s curfew. The statements come as protests continue throughout the country in response to the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was killed at the hands of white police officers on May 25 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
      Photos on social media show Gore holding a gun with the caption “Curfew…” He also threatened to “light motherf**kers up who are trying to f**k with my property.”
      Gore listed himself as a co-executive producer on “Law & Order: Organized Crime”, the new Chris Meloni series being developed at NBC, but Wolf has announced Gore will no longer be involved in the show.
      “I will not tolerate this conduct, especially during our hour of national grief. I am terminating Craig Gore immediately,” Dick Wolf said in a statement to Variety.
      The news comes as the “S.W.A.T.” writers’ room Twitter account featured a statement calling for “law enforcement to de-escalate conflicts, not exacerbate them.”
