thats because it's about the LA riots.

All cop shows are propaganda!

Why is NCIS obsessed with Israel? (Video 1hour)

He is a character meant to uphold the idea that the system can be changed from within while making the police force out to be a kookie fun place.

A fun show, at least until season 5 started explaining the punchlines, but it’s not without issue.

They're out of line, but they are correct.

Seriously if anyone has kids, have them watch some of the shows on PBS Kids. Most are far less annoying than the slop Disney's been producing for the 2-6 age group, and all are far more educational.

Like, Daniel tiger is annoying but at least teaches good stuff (I've literally referenced it while teaching my kids something to help reinforce), but there's some really good shows on there like Molly from Denali, Alma's Way, Hero Elementary, Wild Krats, and Carl the Collector. Better paced, better animation and a million times better writing, plus they all happen to be shows from different human perspectives than just a random talking mouse or talking dog teaching a corporate-approved malaise

Dude, if you look at Zootopia objectively, remove all the personal connections and relationships to the characters... (spoilers ahead)

Judy was hired through a DEI-type program (assistant mayor Bellweather mentioned something about a "mammal inclusion initiative" that got her hired), which is normally a good thing, but they kind of play it like that's the only reason she got a shot at being a cop. Bunnies aren't cops in this world. The police academy was specifically designed for larger, more powerful mammals. Judy had to circumvent traditional training protocol and use her cadets' power and size to assist her in order to graduate.

She goes off-book on her first day. Chases a supposed criminal, causing all sorts of mayhem and damage across town. Insubordination against her boss. But she doesn't get fired, thanks to her political connections.

When she's given a high-profile case to work (again, thanks to connections with the assistant mayor), with no resources to access, she partners with a known shifty scam artist off the street. Blackmails him with tax fraud to cooperate (instead of turning him in). Coerces him to climb a fence so she'd have "probable cause" to investigate the area without a warrant. Basically finding loopholes to circumvent official processes.

She also manages to become part of the family in the local mafia. After a single visit to the mafia, she becomes the godmother of the mob boss' granddaughter. She even uses them later to intimidate a witness to make him talk. Literally threatens to murder the suspect if he doesn't talk!

Then there's the fact that she single-handedly caused the fall of two separate regimes! First, she takes down the mayor for kidnapping predators, then she takes out the next mayor for causing predators to "go savage."

Then she gets the shifty scam artist hired into the police force as her new partner!

From an outside perspective, she's an extremely crooked cop that abuses her position, uses political connections to get her way, makes exceptions for criminals to gain access to police resources, and violates the rights of citizens. ACAB definitely applies to Judy.

In Dredd's universe a "Judge" is a cop, judge and executioner.

Judge Dredd is an exploration of the British and American legal tradition where the judges are not as impartial as they are presented to you. Dredd represents the lived reality that the judge is a tool of the holders of capital

So they are kind of ACAB+ or ACAB allys

Dunno about that one. There have been judges slipping immigrants out the back door and trying like hell to keep non-violent offenders out of prison.

Many JAB, maybe even Most JAB, but there are solid good Judges out there trying like hell to bail out the morally corrupt system. A good judge undoes the shit a previous bad judge does.

Ehh, They're natural predators. They're training them with positive reinforcement to use their prey drive and enhanced senses to do their bidding through a reward system and pack mentality. That's not far enough away from what they're doing to cops in training to call them good bois.

That said, they're also not capable of making ethical decisions, so those treats and the dopamine hit from taking down a prey target is all they have to go on for decision-making.

I'd say they're less cops and more tools. That dog ripping into the arm of a scared young non-white man running for his life isn't exactly a good boi, no is he being forced, but he doesn't know it's wrong.

• The writing staff literally threw out their scripts and rewrote the final season to try addressing the climate surrounding police violence.
• Stephanie Beatriz tweeted that any actor who makes high number residuals from producing copaganda should donate part of their checks to organizations combating police violence and corruption—she included a screenshot of her $11,000 donation to a couple of charities.
• On the show, her character, Rosa, literally stated that George Floyd was the reason she couldn't continue working as a cop and instead became a PI who investigates corruption on behalf of civilian victims.
• The cast and crew collectively donated $100,000 to combat police corruption and violence.
• The main villain of the final season was lawyer or union leader or whatever who enabled and encouraged police corruption, citing anti-white hate and how it's racist to call someone racist.
• I think it was Terry Crews who said in an interview that the show considered how it could possibly evolve into less problematic first responders or something, but that anything other than pointing out their issues and ending the show felt wrong. I can't remember exactly what was said, and I'd already spent far too much time reading interviews to refresh my memory.
• Andre Braugher reflected on his career of copaganda and how he himself had fallen into the trap of how the media sweeps the police problem under the rug.

I'm sure there's other stuff, but I've already spent an inappropriate amount of time on this comment.

Fin.
