Let me rephrase the question for you:
"When does a shark feeding frenzy end?"
Last week, Tom Scharpling, an executive producer of “Monk,” criticized his own show on Twitter:
“If you — as I have — worked on a TV show or movie in which police are
portrayed as lovable goofballs, you have contributed to the larger
acceptance that cops are implicitly the good guys.” Griffin Newman, an
actor who appeared in two episodes of “Blue Bloods” as a detective, donated his $11,000 in earnings to a bail fund, inspiring other actors who have played cops to do the same. LEGO has halted marketing on its “LEGO City Police Station” and “Police Highway Arrest” sets. A&E has pulled
its reality show “Live PD” from the schedule. On Tuesday night, “Cops,”
the show that branded suspects as “bad boys” and spawned the whole
genre of crime reality television, was canceled after 32 seasons.
This is 21st Century America's version of the Cultural Revolution--which means it's both scary and scary dumb:
In addition to people destroying other people's lives, there are hysterics demanding a cartoon police dog be put to sleep.
"Kakistocracy" doesn't begin to describe it.
Don’t you know that if you burn a LEGO police station it will give off toxic fumes and release harmful greenhouse gases? Can’t be contributing to global warming now can we?
