  I also wish someone would look at how in most cop shows and movies, the internal affairs department is <b>always</b> the enemy, just looking to throw honest cops under the bus and being overly pedantic about treatment of suspects etc. <br><br>Never once have I seen a fictional cop go &apos;Yea, they serve a really important function in keeping us honest and they&apos;re the best of us&apos;. It&apos;s always &apos;They&apos;re rats&apos;.

  That canoe joke was far better than any violent cop joke I&apos;ve ever seen

  Also, here is a cop media critique I have heard. So so many cop shows SHOW (or so heavily imply it’s obvious) you who committed the crime, so ANYTHING is justified to get them arrested. The cops NEVER have a thought “What if we got the wrong man”.

  I understand how you feel about the king kong on the scary movie 4 poster because there was no garfield in this video despite being prominently featured in the thumbnail

  My mom and I started watching Columbo (a show we watched together when I was a kid) again. It&apos;s kind of remarkable how he solves the cases using only his wits and at no point mistreats even the suspects. He even declared in one of the last episodes we watched that he refused to carry a gun. Also, all the murderers are wealthy or academic elites who believe themselves above consequences. I don&apos;t know if this type of cop show was typical for the late sixties/seventies, but it is unique for today.

  I definitely misread the title as “copeaganda” and thought this was gonna be a piece on how seeking humor in violence is a societal cope or something along those lines.

  I am telling as a person of color.. The cops around here has amplified my issues with anxiety. I once was awakened to 6 cops pointing guns on me.. (My brother unknowingly messaged a girl that lied about her age to him and was actually 17. They never met in person.) So.. They didnt even bothered to knock when they came... They ordered us to get out of house very early in the morning.. Luckily my brother woke me up.. Because there was a fuckin riot squad there.. Keep in mind.. Its just me and my brother.. No criminal history but we live in low income housing sooo.. Anyways they handcuffed me.. They didnt give us a chance to tie up our dog so an officer got beaten and did they whole water works in front of the dude in command.. (We had to pay her medical bills btw) anyways.. Since i have this acute fear of dying and the fact that i was held in gun point by a bunch of cops. &nbsp;It really fucked me up.. I got a bunch of other &quot;incidents&quot; with the local police.. I never been charged for any crime but im a poor hispanic so i must be up something bad... Oh yeah.. There was a time the police thought i broke into a car which was in fact.. My car.. I had to fuckin prove to them that it was under my name and whatnot.. The police is really making it very difficult to give them any respect.. Really fuckin difficult..

  Great video, and I think there&apos;s also a problem with the depiction of criminals as sub human. There is and has been a distinct attitude of &quot;they deserve what&apos;s coming to them&quot;, I mean look at the prevelance of prison r* jokes.
