      The cop boss was all "Misty stop doing your job blah blah blah your suspended" and now all of a sudden he's like "come back to work and do your job". Why do everyone motivations change suddenly on this show without explanation??

      I never had any interest in watching Iron Fist and just based on this cross-over episode in Luke Cage I think I made the right choice.

      Shades' confessions seem so out of sync. Just an episode earlier he was feeling remorse but now he's all laughing and reveling in all his past crimes. It feels so inconsistent.

      Let's talk about why this scene is messed up. Like many other cop shows this frames folks asking for lawyers or warrants, aka their constitutional rights, as if they are already guilty.pic.twitter.com/BpBPADl4Ev

      How many times have you heard TV cops use the phrase "lawyered up"? These moments are framing the cops as just doing their jobs defending "law and order" and if a suspect asks for a lawyer then they are "clearly guilty".

      Police procedurals too often reinforce that the state and our laws are good and fair and just and that if we ever challenge this system then we must be guilty of a crime. But that's not a true reflection of reality and these harmful myths shape our cultural perspectives.

          Not to mention how frequently the “twist” on SVU is that the rape victim is actually lying. Trains viewers to assume victims are liars.

          In the defense of the "oh no they lawyered up" trope, from what I understand these are relatively accurate portrayals of police attitudes. The police (from their perspective) catch criminals, and the lawyers and judges (from the police perspective) set them free.

          This is of course a good thing (checks and balances) but when you are one cog in a much larger machine, you can get frustrated by the people whose job it is to check and balance you.

          Odd take considering that the main character is a black man who was falsely imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit!

          On a lot of procedurals, you will also notice that anyone who is treated roughly by police turns out to have been hiding something, or turns out to be guilty of something themselves. The only reason that people don't welcome police attention is that they're guilty.

          That's one of the reasons I actively avoid them. They're always 'the cops are always the good guys trying to save the world and if they have to bust a few heads to do it, well...' Also, cannot deal with the plethora of rape jokes, usually aimed at men during interrogations. No.

          Probably why noir has been such a persistent cinematic expression, since it’s rooted in anti-myth.

          I think the CSIs are the pinnacle of such reasoning. After all, there were "scientific" proofs against the guilty ones. The teams were never wrong.

          Yeah, until you need to hide behind one of those laws or one of those cops to help you. I'll bet that reflects a much different reality then, depending on what's most convenient for you at that particular moment.
