Hey, you've almost certainly seen cops being brave heroes..... on TV. There's a reason they call it "programming."

Yeah just look at all the police programming done in tv. Probably half are cop shows. All the csi shows, cops, judge shows, “investigative” journalists shows featuring former attorneys, not to mention all the news media showing interviewing po pos or praising their “sacrifice” because without police we’d all be cannibals eating eAch other and putting human bones through our noses.
Not my childhood!
I loved CHiPS!
And Adam 12.
I even sorta like the few shows I saw of Miami Vice.
Now, I know so much truth, that I can't watch CSI without wanting to break the TV.
Still, I can't let the "Cops are brave heroes" lie go.
The only reason I haven't gone full "Ban all police officers" is that the still clean up the messes we make on roads. Although I think I could do better with a combination ambulance / tow truck with a killer grabber arm.
Not only could you do a better job, but plenty of people--including me--would VOLUNTARILY pay you to do that, without you having to violently extort us. (And yeah, I liked lots of shows about brave cops too. And movies with dinosaurs in them. Now I think those are equally unlikely to happen in the real world ... but dinosaurs are more likely.)
