The type of officers they depict are about as real as the hobbits, dwarves and elves.

I do part of the year. My deceased wife would get hooked on the cops and robs, lawyers and court and medical soap operas.

It’s time to develop something else. When I do have a TV to watch, it’s news, weather and documentaries.

I’m an old guy.

First off, it’s always a dead woman. Disgusting, even showing post mortems and super grim death as entertainment. It is gross.

Second, even Hawaii 5-0 is so pointedly not following the law re abuse of detained people. Treating violence to suspects as if it’s just fine. Even sometimes water boarding. I always thought they were being used to desensitize us.

WORD. Your post is on point.
