Was wondering what law enforcement agencies all across America think about tv shows that portray corrupt law enforcement officers aka "dirty cops"? Obviously everyone knows these tv shows are acting, not real, but at the same time, these tv shows that show the corruption sure can't be popular with the agencies.
Two Examples:
Shades of Blue, starring Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta
Wife and I have been watching this show since it first came on tv, mainly because we like JLo and have seen a number of her movies and watched her as a judge when she was on America Idol.
We watched the first episode of the season last night (we recorded it from Sunday night). We already knew how corrupt the NYPD Detective Dept. she works in is and she is fully part of it. However, last night we seen that not only her Lt. and her co-officers are corrupt, so is the Captain and a couple of detectives that work for him. Almost the entire show kept us on the edge of our recliners and was somewhat scary.
The movie Magnum Force (Clint Eastwood) where three corrupt motor officers, one played by David Soul of Starsky & Hutch fame, get information about criminals that get off on technicalities in court, they kill them. Turns out that Clint Eastwood's former partner is behind the killings as well.
Your thoughts?
