There is another show in the Dick Wolf stable about Chicago called Chicago PD. The premise of the show is that crooked cop Sergeant Hank Voight is sprung from jail in a deal with Internal Affairs to head the Intelligence Unit and collect information on other crooked cops. His watchdog is Antionio Dawson the brother of firefighting Mary Sue Gabby from Chicago Fire.
Anyhoo when you watch this show they violate the civil rights of every suspect every episode. They beat on them, torture them, bring them to their cellar where they tune them up. Sometimes they even kill them and cover it up. Obviously how liberals like Wolf see the cops. He thinks thats how the cops operate. Mostly it is sloppy storytelling. It is much easier to beat information out of a suspect instead of the hard leg work and investigation that cops often have to do to solve cases.
Why is this important? The Faternal Order of Police is warning that Chicago is going to explode this summer. The level of disrespect and violence directed at the cops by the savages emboldened by "Black Lives Matters" have led to the cops pulling back. Not on the beatings and illegal interrogations that are isolated incidents at best. They are pulling back on normal interactions with the public that can lead to stopping crime. Community policing.
The Tiny Dancer is claiming that the cops have gone "Fetal." "We have allowed our Police Department to get fetal, and it is having a direct consequence" Rahn Emanuel said last year. What did he and people like Bill DeBlasio expect? That the cops are going to put their lives and their pensions and their families on the line to stop one savage from killing another. Emanuel doesn't care. Obama doesn't care about his hometown. The Black Lives Matters crowd support the criminals and think enforcing the law is racist. Reap what you sow. The liberal mindset illustrated in things like ChicagoPD has led to an agitprop agenda that has made effective law enforcement impossible. Every mook has a cellphone and starts a riot at every arrest. At every traffic stop. There is no margin for error. For human mistakes. You have to perfect every time. So safety first. It is a human response.
Chicago is going to burn this summer. The cops are going to pull back. Ferguson Rules.

Hmmm, what pray are the chances even the graveyard vote won't be enough in Chiraq?
Seriously, at some point, the people do say, "That's it", and things change.
We're seeing it other places - I'll bet Gotham's another. Cap it off with some Dancin' In The Streets (look up the background of that one) in the convention cities and the mood for reform may be more than even the Demo machines can withstand.
Starting to feel like the 70s all over again.
That is so true ed.
Sometimes I think I am going to run into Superfly on Court St.
There have been some cases where the cops have been shown to have screwed up. But even in those cases, I think the officer was responding to the adrenaline of the moment rather than some innate depravity. They dump on these guys worse than on gangbangers who shoot up schoolyards........In my experience if you interact with cops as cops frequently, you're pretty sure to have a bad experience eventually. The way around this dilemma is to interact with them sparingly, if at all.
50 people shot,9 dead last weekend. Father's Day should really be a blow out.
The type of tv show staples never fail. The majority of shows are about doctors, lawyers, cops, firefighters, or politics. Why? I don't know. Maybe they think the plebes are only interested in these occupations because of the action or that they are super easy for hollywood tv script writers to engage in since most of them seem to circulate around the same crews.
I think it is easy because they can steal plots from the public record. It is sloppy lazy writing. What Dick Wolf made his reputation on including liberal pieties for seasoning.
I'll ask the question I asked earlier.
How much of the black - not to mention Hispanic - vote can the Demos afford to lose?
If Summer In The City is as bad as it looks like it's going to be, and blacks are 11% of the population (Hispanics 16) and the Demo machines, all the way up to DC, have turned the major urban centers into Beirut and their leaders are limousine Liberals who refuse to take care of their peeps*, what happens when a protest vote, either for Trump, or just to stay home, is registered?
Somebody here (or earlier at TOP) once said if the Demos lose 5% of the black vote, they're toast. Do we still believe that?
* Corruption That Works, even in the ghetto, still has to work at some level.
This summer may even be more fun.
Puffington posts a column saying (grab on to something nailed down) Hillary should hand the nomination to Bernie before the FBI leaks what it has on her.
Damn, but this year may even be better than '68. Or even '72.
All we'll need is a market crash and a terror attack.
The funny thing about this picture is that Gabby is in the middle of it. She had to come on the show to school the cops in procedure even though she is a firefighter.
If I didn't know better I would say this was another glaring example of the Majel Barret effect.
Miracle Mile!
I think that's when I quit Law and Order cold turkey. One episode of the Criminal Minds spin-off the ass-actor that played the main psychologist mind-bender had some sort of moralizing monologue condemning torture, specifically psychological military torture at GITMO. EVERY. DAMN. EPISODE. was about him fucking with the suspects. I don't think there was a single episode that he or his team didn't violate someone's rights. And normally I wouldn't care too much... it's television cops. If they did it accurately it would be boring. But that combined with the writer's moral grandstanding was just a bridge too far. Never missed it, once I quit.
I'm enjoying the heck out of the TV show version of Rush Hour. There's not even the veneer of adherence to reality. It's just silly and fun.
I feel the same way about Hawaii Five O. I mean look I am the last one to object to a skell getting tuned up. But they did it every episode with every guy every time. Then they shoot like twenty guys every episode. Dan O is a serial killer. He must of shot down fifty guys this year. He even shot this one dude with a bow and arrow.
It has got to the point where I only want to watch stuff like "The Good Witch" and "Lark Rise to Candleford."
Troop, did you ever read Jack Muller's autobiography "I Pig." He was Chicago cop/detective in the 40s-70's. I think it is right up your alley. It's a tell all and he took a bullet for his efforts.
The book is out of print and therefore kinda pricey. I serialized some excerpts on my old blog. I should rerun and augment because it's totally relevant to today's events.
I tried to love Hawaii 5-O because the Aussie that plays Steve is such a hottie. The way they wrote the part of the Cylon chick was so wrong I quit caring before Danny went on his murder spree.
