'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' star Stephanie Beatriz urges fellow TV cops to donate to bail funds amid Black Lives Matter protests

• "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Stephanie Beatriz called on her fellow TV cops to donate to bail funds as Black Lives Matter protests continue to grow nationwide.
• "I'm an actor who plays a detective on tv. If you currently play a cop? If you make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in residuals from playing a cop? I'll let you do the math," Beatriz tweeted.
• The actress also shared a screenshot of her $11,000 donation to a bail relief organization, and revealed her show had donated $100,000 to the National Bail Relief Fund.
• Beatriz plays Detective Rosa Diaz on the NBC comedy, and credited actor Griffin Newman (who played a detective on "Blue Bloods") for "leading the way" with his donation.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actress Stephanie Beatriz urged fellow TV cops to donate money to bail relief funds, as protests against racism and the death of George Floyd continue to gain traction across the US.

Beatriz plays detective Rosa Diaz on the NBC comedy, which follows police offers in the fictional 99th precinct in Brooklyn. But with more scrutiny than ever on real-life law enforcement, Beatriz called on her peers who'd also played cops to make a donation.

The actress also included a screenshot of her $11,000 donation to the National Bail Fund Network, which helps pay cash bail for people detained before their trials, among other legal issues.

Beatriz thanked actor Griffin Newman for "leading the way" with his donation. Newman shared on Twitter Monday that since he'd previously played a detective on CBS' "Blue Bloods," he felt it was important to donate to a bail fund.

And the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star also revealed that the cast and showrunner of the NBC show "condemn the murder of George Floyd and support the many people who are protesting police brutality nationally."

According to Beatriz's tweet, they made a $100,000 donation to the National Bail Fund Network together, and encouraged followers to donate to their own local bail funds.

The death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer on May 25 has led to numerous protests across the US in the past few weeks, with celebrities like Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles, and Halsey joining in.

And Beatriz isn't the only star who's donated to bail relief funds, either — Drake, Chrissy Teigen, and Steve Carell have all made sizable donations to bail out funds and other Black Lives Matter-focused organizations.
