Waddy was involved in investigating all of these and other high-profile crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The story will also delve into Waddy\u2019s battle to get his father\u2019s approval while struggling between being black or blue in a racially charged time. Whether it was going undercover in the Black Panthers or finding the Skid-Row Slasher and even to the murders tied to the Manson family, no one (including his father) gave him the credit he earned and deserved.<\/p>\n<p>Waddy was a former Marine who was a natural in ferreting things out. He had what was known as \u201ca blue sense.\u201d However, his work did not come without fighting racism \u2014 both in the force and on the outside \u2014 which was alive and fierce in the 1960s. It was only after he stood toe to toe against white supremacists and Charles Manson himself that he earned a detective shield, becoming the first black Los Angeles cop to receive one.<\/p>\n<p>Waddy passed away last August, leaving behind a wife and three kids.<\/p>\n<p>The project is the first for Parker since he was embroiled in the scandal of rape allegations from his college days; that news surfaced during the release of Birth of a Nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nate Parker To Direct \u2018Black &amp; Blue,\u2019 Feature About LAPD Hero Ralph WaddyPosted by Wilson Morales March 23, 2018 Source: Deadline Deadline is reporting that Nate Parker (Birth of a Nation) is attached to direct Black &amp; Blue, a feature based on the life of decorated LAPD detective Ralph Waddy.
