no the justifications made for violence and killing in US tv series are pretty much on that level.
or even plea bargains. it's completely normalised to set up the bad guy (who is up against having their life ruined in a US prison), trick them using that plea bargain plot device, and pretend justice has been done, because it was the good guy cops setting up the trap.
pay attention, too often those plea bargainings can only be called "just" if you assume the good guys can do no wrong, make no deduction errors, and the bad guy was basically known to be guilty except for the "law".
