was meditating the other day on how despicably awful and cruel shows like C*PS were. goddamn there was this one called bait car that raised the stakes through ostensible entrapment, leaving high priced vehicles unlocked and running in impoverished (mostly minority) neighborhoods, and when theft was attempted locking the person in the car and killing the engine remotely before surrounding and arresting. the “entertainment”, as expressed by the police and highlighted by the show, were the prevarications and lies the the entrapped and abused put forth as reasons for their driving the car. truly depraved shit, and doing its part to stoke reactionary and anti-human dispositions and reground them in the domain of entertainment.
I blame those shows for exacerbating the cop-brained bullshit in america. Not saying it was a CIA plot or anything, but it certainly helped their cause. And those shows arising in the 80s and 90s right when Reagan took office is even more sus.
