r is a slur fort mentally disabled people and it's being investigated because the police love beating up disabled people of all sorts.

Hey, it's not always like that. Now they can also report the victims to ICE, which makes the problem go away much faster.

Pretty much the worst thing about The Wire is that I can't get past cops giving a shit about anything
That's an odd take, since I think the show makes it pretty clear that it is a tiny minority of cops which actually gives a shit, and of those and even tinier minority are actually capable at their jobs and they are getting hassled about it from every senior officer all the while.
What? Have you actually seen the show? Most of the cops are assholes, especially up the chain of command who just want to make themselves look good. Several examples of them just wanting to close the case without caring about the truth.
It’s actually one of the reasons why I love the show so much. Even the “good cops” have their own issues to deal with.
Yeah, shows make cops look better than they are for sure, but they totally do the opposite by accident a lot too, just in stupider (and still realistic) ways
another murder? That's the 12th this month, Jimmy! We'd better start looking into this!

I’d say daredevil does the best version of portraying police. A few good apples while most get radicalized.
ACAB every day but don't you dare come for Mariska Hargitay. 1) we all know SVU is fiction (that's why they say it every episode), and most of us are aware it's mostly fantasy and also 2) svu often points out the shortcomings of other non-them svu teams and the NYPD in general.
Mariska is a gem irl. Let me enjoy my fantasy cop show.
(It has to be said: this is a tongue-in-cheek comment and I understand the point that was being made in the meme, I just really love svu ok.)
Okay but, hear me out—are we not going to look back one day and feel that it was really fucking weird that we had a cop show dedicated entirely to rape? Maybe I’m thinking about it all wrong but that seems exploitative in a weirdly fetishistic way
It is a bit odd.
