If you like true crime and also someone not afraid to call out when the cops fuck up, I recommend Bailey Sarian. Love her "Honey let me TELL YOU" vibe, but that'll be a turn off for some people so YMMV.
I don't recall cops coming up much in Barely Sociable but he's great too though he hasn't posted in a while, and his stuff is less true crime and more mysterious stuff in general.
I mean they do try to solve crimes? So if the "cops" win, it is good?
Yea... but the cops attitude and tone of voice is kinda disgusting, and they treat everyone like criminals, even when questioning the victims. Their bad behavior never gets pointed out.
People like to feel that there is justice and that bad guys get caught. Serial killers and the source of info (mostly police departments) makes for low hanging fruit. To get less biased info would take more work. It is possibly different outside the US.
I've had the opposite with the ones I've watched on Netflix
Old but if you haven't seen Making a Murderer you should give it a watch.
I have! The first season was great
Skip Intro has a good series about this.
I’m so tired of people opposing a “pro-cop” bias. You can be against corruption in police departments without being pro-criminal. Police are the people we should be supporting, because they enact the force of law, which is what keeps society stable. That there is corruption among the police just means we need to attack that problem directly, not get rid of police. Those who want to get rid of police are anarchist fuckwits who want crime lords to rule society, and they should be dealt with the same way we deal with criminals.
Wait. You mean to tell me there's corruption in the corruption factory??
Sooo..Do you prefer the flavor of brown polish, or black?

Oh yeah, that makes total sense, if someone doesn't agree with you they're a criminal. /s
The full expression is a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Police are thoroughly corrupt in the United States and it could be argued with plenty of corroborating evidence that it is a feature and not a bug.
Your little piggies stood by en masse in Uvalde while eight year olds were slaughtered. But you better believe they'll be cashing their overtime checks after assisting the ICE raids to help haul off undocumented Grandmas.
That the stable society you love that they help uphold?
ACAB
Even if 100% of the police officers in the country need to be replaced, we still need police. Are you truly debating this?
Where you getting them from? The type of people that want to be police in this country are largely the fucking problem with this country.
And besides, I can't even debate this with you, right? Because it makes me deserving of being treated like a criminal?
Is it a thought crime to think that people who literally have no mandate to protect the public, constantly murder dogs and people, suck up the majority of most city budgets, and are generally cowards might be doing more harm than good?
You referring me to be sent to El Salvador? Oh whoops, you said treated like a criminal, not treated like a person applying for asylum. I guess if we're going to treat me like a criminal in this country, I should be elected president.
Have you ever noticed that these crime documentaries are anti-crime??
LOL
