| ~ Officer Coffey threatening Tre Styles with a gun to his throat |
Officer Coffey is a minor antagonist in 1991 crime drama film Boyz N The Hood. He is an African American police officer who works for the LAPD.
He was portrayed by the late Jessie Lawrence Ferguson, who also portrayed Lutan in the first season of Star Trek The Next Generation.
Biography[]
Officer Coffey is first seen with his partner responding to a burglary that took place in Furious Styles' house. He argues with Furious, stating that he should have killed the burglar, so it would be "one less n***a out in the streets we have to worry about". He later asks if something is wrong, to which Furious replies that there is, but that it's too bad he doesn't know what it is. Furious walks away, while Coffey looks at him in anger.
Officer Coffey is later seen pulling over Tre and Ricky, who were driving home from Crenshaw. While frisking Tre, he turns him around aggressively and holds him at gunpoint, where he proceeds to taunt him, explaining that he became a cop because he hates black people, and wonders if Tre is part of a gang. Dispatch reports a possible 187, causing Coffey to back off of Tre. This event leads to Tre later having a mental breakdown at Brandi's house. He is never seen again ever since, and its highly likely that he was never caught from abusing his powers and is also likely that Coffey continues to remain on duty.
Trivia[]
- The backstory of Officer Coffey and why he chooses to threaten vulnerable people when arrested is because of his son, who was shot and killed by gang members. However, this does not excuse his horrible mistreatment towards Tre, along having gotten away with his actions.
