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 2 months 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.

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.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What about Ace Ventura? Or Paul Blart?

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

Neither one of those are cops.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I dare you to say that to their face.

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ace would be complimented.

Blart wouldn't be able to catch me.

[–] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months 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 2 months 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.
