Whether intentionally or not, what do movies depict or present wrong a lot of the time?

      Imagine an evil terrorist organization coming into the picture, and it’s up to REAL COPS to stop them.

      And like real cops, they end up taking a detour to Walmart, where a woman was accused of stealing so they pull out their guns and kill a baby.

      Oh is this too real? My bad.

        I like watching suspect interviews, all the cops follow the same script, if people would just shut up and ask for the lawyer far fewer crimes would be solved.

        I tell my kids to treat cops like vampires, never let them in the house and sticking to your rights is garlic to them.

        Wow, that’s a pretty sweeping statement. I know some cops, and let me tell you, I don’t need to watch a documentary to know that they are incompetent.

        I think they were basically as decent as possible in The Perfect Neighbor, unfortunately. I could be wrong, though.

          Nah you’re probably not wrong haha. I’m sure there are good examples. But for the most part all I hear and watch is absolutely terrible detective and police work.
