Fucking hell, copaganda is one of the most idiotic brainrot internet concepts I’ve had the displeasure of seeing to date.
Get the fuck over yourselves.
Silence, American
I will admit I watch code blue cam sometime for the same reason I’ll watch judge Alex clips or divorce court clips. It’s kinda fun watching the chaos.

In Colorado right now, if a survivor goes through the ordeal of a sexual assault evidence exam, the state lab will take 554 days before they get around to analyzing it. (Here’s a CPR story about the backlog.)
What do detectives do when there’s nothing to detect?
investigating non-wealthy neighborhoods.
Spinning chair.
Harass minorities with “probable cause”
Desk pops.

Yeah as much as I love Jake and Amy and Captain Holt, B99 is copaganda. Once I saw it that way, I couldn’t watch it anymore.
CSI was fun but not as thirsty/sucking off as NCSI. on a several instances the showrunner was virtue signalling at the end of the episode for them, with a message.(its military propaganda but also ties into copaganda too since its on the “civilian side”
Brooklyn 99 was a genuinely good comedy
It was also copaganda
It wasn’t. It had a few good lines/scenes, but not very funny to me at all. Couldn’t make it through the first episode, Sandberg just isn’t funny.
You kinda have to give any American sitcom at least half a season before you can really judge it. They pretty much all start out rubbish and it’s only when the actors grow into the roles can you tell if it’s actually gonna be good.
FWIW Brooklyn 99 was very much an ensemble comedy by the time it got going rather than primarily focusing on Samberg, even though he was still ostensibly the lead role.
I tried. I like all the actors, but Sandberg and just couldn’t do it. I’d rather rewatch scrubs or the office again.
Sorry I just said that because you said you couldn’t get through the first episode—I don’t think I’d have thought it was any good if that was all I saw either. The standard American sitcom rule I follow is 4-6 episodes before I can really tell if it’s actually gonna work, until that point the characters usually come across as 1 dimensional even if it ends up being good.
But fair play regardless, everyone likes different stuff!
No I get it. It took a few tries to get started in the office and in the wire also. I just don’t have the time anymore to wade through stuff that I just don’t really care for.
Right but just because you personally didn’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t a good comedy. I understand that you are now saying it’s not something you personally care for, but your original comment was stating that it being bad was objectively true. Like, I can say that I think The Simpsons is a bad comedy, and I could provide a bunch of data to back it up but I can’t say that The Simpsons is a bad comedy, because how did it get to 36 seasons in counting if people weren’t enjoying it?
Fantasy comedy
Much like The West Wing
Watched it all again last year. Love me some competency porn.

I don’t disagree

I don’t know. If anything it shows how blatantly corrupt cops are, it is that show.
Yeah CSI made you think that there was this dedicated team of people trying to get to the bottom of every case being very diligent and careful with every piece of evidence and the chain of custody, instead of a couple of dipshits who forget to label every baggie and throw everything to a box and toss it in the back room someplace.

csi made it seem like it was well funded/overfunded in the labs and investigations too. im pretty most of the funding goes into PR/campaigning and police salaries and pensions, rather than the operations to solve crimes.
TV would also have you believe being President of the US is somehow not a job for a clown.
I 100% guarantee you there are very proper, professional teams of investigators who do prosecute rape thoroughly.

@[email protected] was testing federation from Sharkey (not Mastodon) to Lemmy. Seems to work.
🤔
They’re replying to your lemmy post from a Mastodon instance. It just looks like they’re tagging you. Just think of it as a Twitter reply
Apart from posts from lemmy instances not appearing as hashtags on mastodon (afaik), despite posts on mastodon appearing in the hastaged communities, not removing the #s and @s is also something I don’t like about the current lemmy/mastodon implementations
The @s and #s are because Mastodon clients usually add them automatically and the person did not remove it, but they are not part of the integration implementation.
Like this comment is from Mastodon.
Oh lol
Then I should patch my client to manually remove those
I had no idea mastodon was even plugged into Lemmy. Thanks for the clarification <3
All the fediverse stuff is pretty well plugged into each other, how well they interact is another matter though. I’m wishing for the day when federated ID happens so the same ID can be used on multiple platforms.
I worked in a warehouse many years ago, one of the office people also worked in a cop shop. She said the people that worked in the sex crimes dept spent very little time in the dept before moving on because of how fucked up they would get working those crimes.
L&O: SVU was so much stupidity with the same 6 cops working there but not commiting suicide from having to deal with sex crimes 24/7/365.
Hey! Did you hear about the kid who held the door against a school shooter, got shot a bunch of times, and survived? Yeah, there’s a picture of the kid in the hospital with a cop thanking the kid for doing the cop’s job. Because, we all know a cop would not have done the same–or even have been in the building.
The thing that always bothered me about law and order shows were that the detectives would easily believe someone’s alibi as fact and just move on. Then you watch a show the first 48 and all they care about is the conviction probability. They don’t care about facts, just what their likelihood of winning in court would be.
Or just who they don’t like/want to see put away. How many times cops focus on one person because they incorrectly assume they’re the guilty person, so they keep them in interrogation for 15hrs, emotionally and physically abuse them, threaten everything they have and their entire life, lie, manipulate, and just completely wear the person down until they falsely confess? It’s a grossly common problem. And then once they’re in the death trap maze that is the legal system, their life is basically ruined. But those cops get a pat on the back and they move on with their lives. While an innocent person rots away
I liked blue bloods a lot as a show. But damn, the detectives cared way too much about rules for it to be real. Even Danny, (Donnie wahlberg), who was the “bad cop” that broke rules a lot wasn’t indicative of reality.
The irony with the punisher skull is that he loathed crooked cops, and they’re the ones who love the symbol the most.
The new daredevil tv show goes into this
Cause they know he isn’t real
Thank Jesus for The Wire
The one written by a crime historian, with help from a retired homicide detective
Go figure it paints the most realistic picture
Didn’t that show get only like one or two seasons?
5, and they only intended 5 to tell the whole story they had
Believe it or not, also Copaganda
Oh, it walks a line for sure.
For those in doubt, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOXQpkUhZyc (also on Nebula)
I really recommend the whole series. It explains the origins of cop shows and their use as copaganda, as well as analyzing everything from Marvel movies to Paw Patrol in their depiction of law enforcement.
And Homicide. When I started watching it, I was surprised when some episodes ended but the investigation didn’t lead to anything and the cops didn’t really care.
In The Wire, I really liked when the cop found out the code used by dealers. He started saying “Those kids didn’t go to school so the code should be simple…”
The Rookie is another Copaganda show.
A bunch of cops all nerding out over following the law, ethical treatment of minorities, keeping each other in line, actively forcing out bad cops…
What planet is this?
I really like the cast and the show is fun, but it’s as much fantasy as the Rings Of Power.
I’ve got a buddy that worked out of the same precinct the show supposedly takes place in. He obviously can’t stand any aspect of the show.
Hates it? Why? Because it’s completely unrealistic?
Because Fillions too pretty
Pretty much.
Edited to add: hate is probably too strong a word. He just doesn’t enjoy it and doesn’t watch it.

So many problems in all the other cop shows.
- Shooting at people running away
- The suspect is always guilty, we just have to prove it
- One bad cop per two seasons always from a different precinct
I’m pretty sure anyone who becomes a cop to “reform it from the inside” will either be corrupted or pushed out. There’ve been a couple high profile cases of cops trying to reform, and they were rewarded with prizes like being shot in the head or having dead rats left in their mailboxes.

I mean, technically true in a “picture a spherical frictionless cow” kind of sense, but not something you’re going to find in real life. Most people are susceptible to corruption. Cops have a lot of power, and we all know the saying about power corrupting.
On top of that, I’m pretty sure much of the training they’re getting to be cops is bad. They don’t spend nearly enough time on deescalation, I think , for example.
There was also a guy who was forcibly committed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Schoolcraft#Raid_and_involuntary_commitment
Oh, I didn’t know about this one. Thanks for the link. Adding it to my mental dossier on police bullshit.
This American life has some good bits on his situation.
