“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” isn’t shying away from controversy this time around. After essentially burying an episode inspired by Donald Trump before the 2016 presidential election, the long-running NBC series is set to tackle the violence that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month. “We do rip from current headlines, so if headlines have to do with politics we’ll do it. You know, with what just happened in Charlottesville, you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll do that,” showrunner Michael Chernuchin told Entertainment Weekly. “Law & Order: SVU” returns Sept. 27 at 9 p.m. on NBC.
