In all the TV shows I've ever seen featuring police as protagonists, I believe 100% of them show police corruption as part of standard procedure. And it's gotten far, far worse over the years. Dick Wolf's "Law & Order" (1990) sometimes had rather subtle corruption, while his "Chicago P.D." (2014) makes torture a primary investigative method in every episode. Even in the rare case where a corrupt cop is taken down on TV, it's done by a slightly less corrupt cop. Is it any surprise that we see issues with police in real life, when our entertainment has normalized much more brutal behavior? There's a huge discrepancy here. In the fictional world, torture works, and corruption always ends up being justified. I love a good crime story, but all I see today is producers competing for who can be the most outrageous.
