Actual police in small towns are way closer to Reno 911 than Law & Order.

Really? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've always thought Reno 911 made cops look like incompetent assholes.

[–] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Which is still better than reality.

The word copaganda is a copaganda. Makes me think cops are like ninja turtles when they are not.

Now I'm wondering if there's a cop show that isn't copoganda.

Shit... That's "old" now?

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Great nod, but that show still makes you think you could get 3 cops in a room and not even one will be a racist shitbox.

Their comment made me want to ask if Naked Gun and Police Academy are copaganda.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about Ace Ventura? Or Paul Blart?

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Neither one of those are cops.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I dare you to say that to their face.

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ace would be complimented.

Blart wouldn't be able to catch me.

[–] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Blart won't catch you in the first act, but you'll regret you tested him before the credits roll

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Reno 911 is copaganda if you see it as a comedy, but the opposite if you see it as a documentary.

I've seen reno 911.

Ive also seen true evil where the sheriff rules the town with an iron fist, terrorizing everyone he wants to.

Surprised we don't have more shows like that.

Watch the last season of Fargo.
