Whether intentionally or not, what do movies depict or present wrong a lot of the time?

    I like watching suspect interviews, all the cops follow the same script, if people would just shut up and ask for the lawyer far fewer crimes would be solved.

    I tell my kids to treat cops like vampires, never let them in the house and sticking to your rights is garlic to them.

      Cops are your friend (remember we’re talking to children here) up until the moment you are accused of a crime. If they think you’re involved in something, stop talking and ask for a lawyer!

        Nah, cops are not your friend, I’m a 50 something white male, I have called the cops 3 times in my life.

        When I was 15 I found a guitar in the woods, cop did everything he could to pin the theft on me, even searched my house.

        Late 30s some kid stole my sons bike, we knew who did it but the cops just said well we didn’t see it happen so we can’t do anything.

        At 50 a friend attempted suicide, I called an ambulance, cops got there first, walked right past my unconscious friend and started poking around the house.

        I raised my kids to stay out of trouble and stay away from cops.
