“We didn’t want to shy away from the fact that in many places in America, members of the police were also members of the Klan. There are absolutely many parts of America where that is still a problem today,” says Watchmen writer Cord Jefferson
The cop show is almost as old as television itself. The earliest police dramas birthed the idea of a narrative in which good and bad were clearly defined.
Paramount Network recently canceled the long-running series “Cops” after more than 30 years and 33 seasons. Then A&E followed suit by axing “Live PD,” one of its highest-rated shows. The cast and showrunner of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” made a very public donation of $100,000 to the National Bail Fund Network on June 2, in a move condemning Floyd’s killing.
As Darnell Hunt, dean of social sciences and professor of sociology and African American Studies at UCLA, points out, “roughing up perps” has long been part of the territory when it comes to cop shows. “Police are usually the protagonists in these shows; they’re the heroes,” Hunt adds. “We’re asked to identify with them implicitly, if not explicitly, and accept their view of the world, which is that the people they’re pursuing are criminals and they deserve what they get.”” writer Cord Jefferson, is that many cop shows fail to acknowledge or deal with the history of the police force in America and the context in which it exists to this day.
