The Chicago PD Season 12 finale didn’t just deliver high-stakes action—it lit up fan forums with one major point of controversy: Chapman’s brutal judgment of Sergeant Hank Voight. According to many devoted viewers, her take wasn’t just harsh—it completely missed the mark.
Throughout the finale, Voight faced intense pressure trying to bring down Deputy Chief Reynolds while keeping his crumbling Intelligence Unit together. Chapman, who had grown close to Voight, made a bold move by confronting him about his secretive methods and lack of transparency. She claimed his old-school, lone-wolf tactics were tearing the team apart.
But fans weren’t buying it.
On social media, reactions exploded. “Chapman doesn’t get it—Voight’s methods are the reason this team survives,” one viewer tweeted. Others pointed out that Voight has always operated in moral gray areas for the sake of justice—and that’s what makes him the backbone of the show.
“Voight isn’t perfect,” another fan wrote, “but he’s loyal, strategic, and always ten steps ahead. Chapman just doesn’t see the full picture.”
Some even questioned whether the writers were setting Chapman up as a future antagonist. “If Season 13 turns into a ‘clean up Voight’ arc, I’m out,” one user threatened.
Whatever happens next, one thing’s for sure: the finale has reignited the age-old debate about whether Voight is a hero or a liability—and Chapman’s criticism has only deepened the divide.
