    I love pointing out problematic behavior in cop shows.

    Those DAMN DEFENDANTS claiming they didn’t do it when the good cops JUST KNOW they’re guilty. The DAMN JUDGES always wanting EVIDENCE instead of just taking the cops at their word the alleged criminal dumped the drugs in the river.

    How DARE they insist cops DO THEIR JOB. what’s next, asking them to PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK?

    Usually it’s more subtle like “they’re complaining about being asked to do their jobs correctly, and these are the people we’re supposed to be cheering for?” or “they fabricated evidence of one crime because they dropped the ball with another crime, and they’re the good guys? If you say so…”

    Some people might say I’m ruining a show, but come on… The show was already ruined. I’m just adjusting the picture so your rose tinted glasses get the right colors.

      What about when suspects or perps use a “loophole” to escape justice and then you find out that loophole was the accused weren’t read their rights or was abused during an interrogation and had no access to a lawyer. Like the cops didn’t do basic police work correctly but it’s the suspect who did something wrong. Remember that the rights read to a person under arrest are actual constitutional rights that each American is entitled to and which the police must abide.

      Copaganda is real.
