Whether intentionally or not, what do movies depict or present wrong a lot of the time?

      Imagine an evil terrorist organization coming into the picture, and it’s up to REAL COPS to stop them.

      And like real cops, they end up taking a detour to Walmart, where a woman was accused of stealing so they pull out their guns and kill a baby.

      Oh is this too real? My bad.

        Wow, that’s a pretty sweeping statement. I know some cops, and let me tell you, I don’t need to watch a documentary to know that they are incompetent.

        I like watching suspect interviews, all the cops follow the same script, if people would just shut up and ask for the lawyer far fewer crimes would be solved.

        I tell my kids to treat cops like vampires, never let them in the house and sticking to your rights is garlic to them.

          Cops are your friend (remember we’re talking to children here) up until the moment you are accused of a crime. If they think you’re involved in something, stop talking and ask for a lawyer!

        I think they were basically as decent as possible in The Perfect Neighbor, unfortunately. I could be wrong, though.

          Nah you’re probably not wrong haha. I’m sure there are good examples. But for the most part all I hear and watch is absolutely terrible detective and police work.
