I can’t even watch tv. The law and order, ncis, swat, seal, whatever - it’s just completely pervasive in society now. Even the BBC productions that used to be thinking and clever Inspectors now always have some gun battle.

Hollywood is as liberal as the NRA wants it.

This is hardly the NRA's big agenda. Not a lot of law-abiding gun owners shown in these shows; just people who use them for work in alarming ways.

To be fair to the BBC, their biggest police drama is about bent coppers

yeah but they're the supervillian/shadow conspiracy kind of bent cops where almost all the cops who do bad things are good people who get manipulated into doing bad by criminal masterminds. and the "good" cops commit abuses just as bad as the "bad" cops

The final episode of S7 had so many references to real UK police corruption it was practically a speech to camera. You could tell it hit home by the number of complaints about it on Twitter.

Timely for the Daniel Taylor findings.
