I’m talking about those youtube videos.

Feels like lowkey copaganda to me.

    What do you expect, do you want a crime documentary to sympathize with the criminals?

      Occasionally they take the “investigation bungled by police” angle, but that’s the exception rather than the rule.

        Bailey Sarian takes the investigation bungled by police angle most of the time, but yeah, there is a lot of copaganda around.

      I always LOVED NYPD Blue growing up because the detectives actually seemed to care. They just wanted to catch the killers/rapists, could give a shit about your parking tickets. They seemed like genuine people who were only looking out for the public. They even went out of their way to keep people out of jail that weren’t involved.

      lemmy finds out that the police do more than just appearing in green left weekly articles after beating up a minority

        I wish you weren’t downvoted. It’s not one or the other. There can be terrible systemic problems with law enforcement and amazing people working in law enforcement at the same time.

        Even if you take a US-centric view there is a huge variance in police work across the nation.

        american cops have some of the worst crime clearance rates on earth despite having the largest budgets.

        vs some civilized countries:

        they put up these impressive numbers while sucking down most of the budget in every town, while abusing minorities and the homeless and anyone else they can. You ever have to deal with cops for insurance when you get robbed? They are making sure you aren’t scamming the insurance company, who they actually work for. They don’t give a fuck about helping you.

        Wonder why those leftists aren’t happy with the state of things 🤔

        Wonder why anyone could be pleased with it tbh.
