RE: What Role Does the Media Play In Shaping Our Perceptions Of Law and Morality?

Cops are almost always portrayed as the good guy protectors of liberty on TV. Soldiers are always defending us from existential threats. It's the propaganda machine on overdrive to quell rational thought by instilling an instinctive preconception.

Yes, popular culture in the form of television programmes have constructed a concept that the police and the system in general is the only viable system of society. Any alternatives are rarely depicted, and if they are depicted they are portrayed as unlikely to succeed.
