Police procedurals help normalize this FYI
I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

we're just a few years away from courtroom procedurals like "do you swear to spit straight fax, no cap, on god?"

all these incompetent people in the current regime are ruining my ability to have suspension of disbelief when watching procedurals that rely on government competence as a major plot device

👏IRS 👏Procedurals👏
The fact that Americans love cop shows that reinforce every dumb and bad thing about American policing and those shows are broadly written by libs is such a missed opportunity
it's so funny when you can tell what headline the writer room read last was

The biggest fiction in police procedurals is that there are substantial repercussions for abusing one’s power

What I learnt about how to solve every crime in different countries from procedurals:
UK: fetch the cctv
India: break down a door
Norway: bring the sniffer dog
Australia: ask about the family feud
USA: read the case report 3 years later

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.
The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

we need to bring back procedurals where the characters don't care about each other as people
Sort of love vintage Law and Order for that reason alone. Every so often, a lawyer or cop will drop a detail about their home life, and it's immediately clear the other characters are as uninterested as the audience

The return of Poker Face and the recent brilliant run of The Pitt inspired me to celebrate TV shows that just want to be (great) TV shows:
Hospital Dramas! Crime Procedurals! Classic TV Is Back and Better Than Ever
Hit shows like 'The Pitt' and 'Poker Face' are a nod to broadcast dramas and procedurals of the past — and audiences are loving it.

the police are not good at solving crimes. they barely try to solve anything but murders and they aren't particularly skilled at solving murders.

One thing I love watching many British procedurals is the actors look "normal" often in them which is jarring in comparison.
