"The Role of Police in Movies & Television...let's discuss" Thu Sep-24-20 12:12 PM by Damali
One thing we all have in common is that we've grown up on television, movies and if you're born after 1996, the internet.
We've all been fed a steady diet of police-centered television shows and movies. Without having done a deep dive analysis, I'm interested in discussing which ones impacted you the most and how you think it framed policing to you...
Hawaii Five O CHiPs New York Undercover Hill Street Blues NYPD Blue Law & Order Cops Lethal Weapon The Wire Mall Cop Robocop Beverly Hills Cop 48 Hours Bad Boys
there are so many more than that...you can add on...but I'm looking for some analysis around how this may have caused us to see cops a certain way and how realistic some of those depictions were...and how people who became cops may have been influenced by those shows...
was life imitating art or was it the other way around?
