Find what's different in America and fix it
The average American spends several hours a week watching TV and movies where the rule-breaking shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later cop is the hero. Probably most people who join the police see themselves in that role.
Here in the UK our cop shows are like Midsomer Murders. Most episodes don’t even feature a gun...

- learc83 9y ago>Here in the UK our cop shows are like Midsomer Murders. Most episodes don’t even feature a gun... Midsomer Murders is a murder mystery show, not really a cop show. There are plenty of action oriented Brotish Cop shows. I love Midsomer Murders by the way.
- gaius 9y agoWell, so is NCIS then, and they love guns and rule-breaking...
- learc83 9y agoNCIS is a federal investigative and intelligence service--much like MI5, which leads us to Spooks that also has quite a bit of guns and rule breaking.
- jessaustin 9y agoNCIS? Don't assume anything based on that show; it is a ridiculous farce of nonsense and made-up bullshit. I have family members who watch it religiously, in all its goofy flavors. Not a minute passes without the seemingly serious portrayal of something that would never happen.
- learc83 9y agoOf course it's ridiculous. Who said otherwise?
