I always wonder how people who watch true crime documentaries often end up pro-cop. Like if you pay even the tiniest bit of attention to these cases, it immediately becomes obvious that cops as a group basically don’t do even want to solve crimes, they just want to do violence. And the handful of cops that say they want to solve crimes are fucking dog shit at it because to be a cop you have to have shit for brains.
I mildly like cop shows. It’s a nice fantasy where everything gets solved and the line between good guys and bad guys is so clear. But: even in nice fantasy land… there are such glaring problems! Mostly cops believing that, since they are the good guys, they are always justified, laws be dammed. Or nepotism/interferences left and right. Personal matters snowballing. Use of public resources towards personal gains. It’s so obviously possible, I wouldn’t want the real world to work like that!

Everyone loves a good detective/mystery story. It’s too bad it only happens in books and shows.
Depends on the show. It’s hard to dislike Joe Kenda.
His whole show is just talking about homicides he solved. He had 387 cases over 23 years with a closure rate of 92%.
Since his retirement, he has been a bus driver for special needs students.
Maybe it is (or could be) the opposite:

Something tells me that people who inhale murder porn aren’t the smartest tools in the cabinet
The job is stressful, bullshit pay and about any moron who can follow rules gets in. I expect nothing from them, and that’s what I get.
It also depends a lot on the country of the person whatching and the series taking place.
