    This is even funnier as someone who watched the entire film because >!they weren’t actually corrupt, they were just trying to find the person on their team who was!<

      Thats the most unrealistic part of the entire plot. Cops would NEVER rat on each other, thats exactly what the thin blue line is. “Thin blue line” might as well be “cops before citizens”.

      It would be more realistic if a group of bad cops tried finding the one good cop leaking their crimes.

      edit: Look up what happened to LAPD Officer Houston Tipping if you want to know what happens to good cops.

        My thoughts exactly. Almost a complete reversal of “One Battle After Another”; I’m convinced the director for that one just wanted to make everyone look as evil/incompetent/misguided as possible in some kind of botched ‘both sides bad’ argument

    We know you’re dirty, because most of us have had to deal with you and we know you are just as likely to ruin us as to help us.

    There are good cops, I’ve met a few and I love them. However, the low bar for entry and their authority leads to a lot of ruthless thugs wearing the badge.

    They had a much better reputation before they were forced to wear cameras (sometimes). It’s odd, almost every time I’ve investigated a case (i.e. read up on something that happened years ago, long after the case is over), the cops are dead-ass lying about what happened, and only the footage reveals the truth.

    I am staunchly pro-union, but US police demonstrate what happens when unions are at their worst. No accountability. If only the rest of us had unions that fought half as hard for us…

    good luck on discovery

    The idea that the police must be held above suspicion and assumed heroic is one of the worst things that can happen to good law enforcement. Good law enforcement requires the public to always be scrutinizing the cops.

      America is a warning to every other nation… remember, the only thing keeping corps in check is government. USA demonstrates what you get when you refuse to restrain multinational multi-generational wealth acquirers, they win over the people every time.

      They’ll make us slaves if they can, that is always their ultimate goal, because it’s the most profitable labor force. Much cheaper than robots.

        As a Californian, I take issue with that.

        America is 40 or so failed states bringing the 10 others down with them.

              And blockaded the blockade… with ships that have been at sea too long without resupply… that can’t get it from one of many us bases in the area due to them all being evacuated… that are evacuated due to Iranian strikes that took out things like an AWACs plane due to a lack of interceptors… those interceptors are about $3 million a pop being used to shoot down shahed drones that cost under $50k… those very costly patriot interceptors have to be used due to the us administrations snubbing of the only nation that has “the cards” when it comes to full on modern drone warfare’s offer of support…
