Sadly any sort of criticism of the police or social commentary in these kinds of police movies go right over the heads of the "thin blue line" people. They see cop movie, they automatically assume they're the good guys, no exceptions. I've seen them try to find any way to justify misconduct by police characters in fiction, even when it's obvious the author almost certainly intended for those actions to be viewed negatively.

All we can do is keep speading the word and informing people!

Keep up the fight!

Peace!
