No offense intended. they didn't exactly portray the LAPD as a great police force. My view here in Michigan is, I'm sure, very different from yours out in the streets.

Sometimes it is difficult to separate the cop from citizen, but I think it was too sterotypical. I hate the broad brushing that was done and saw it as extremely exaggerated. As far as the depiction of the cops, it goes against everything I believe in. To see a cop, even in a movie, abuse people in such an extreme manner evoked strong emotions as I was even cussing at the TV while watching it. If I saw a cop, or even suspected as cop, behaving in that manner, I would have his a$$! We cops hate dirty cops more than the public. To effectively do our job, we have to have the trust of the communities that we serve. Without that, we are ineffective.
