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 weeks ago

Which is still better than reality.

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 weeks ago

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

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

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

What about Ace Ventura? Or Paul Blart?

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

Neither one of those are cops.

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

I dare you to say that to their face.

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

Ace would be complimented.

Blart wouldn't be able to catch me.

[–] Twelve20two@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

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