Time to pull the plug on Cop Shows?

At the very least the glorification of these people rings pretty hollow now...

The type of officers they depict are about as real as the hobbits, dwarves and elves.

I do part of the year. My deceased wife would get hooked on the cops and robs, lawyers and court and medical soap operas.

It’s time to develop something else. When I do have a TV to watch, it’s news, weather and documentaries.

I’m an old guy.

First off, it’s always a dead woman. Disgusting, even showing post mortems and super grim death as entertainment. It is gross.

Second, even Hawaii 5-0 is so pointedly not following the law re abuse of detained people. Treating violence to suspects as if it’s just fine. Even sometimes water boarding. I always thought they were being used to desensitize us.

WORD. Your post is on point.
