If you’ve watched the reality series Cops or Live PD, pathological selfishness is very much a staple, a defining attribute of the assorted misfits and predators. I remember one lengthy pursuit of thieves who’d robbed a store at gunpoint, terrorised its owner, and then fled the scene in a stolen car, and whose bid to escape did costly damage to other people’s property, and caused other road users to veer and crash, resulting in serious injury.
When finally apprehended, the thieves, themselves unharmed, were entirely unconcerned by the horror and destruction left in their wake, or the fact that it was all but miraculous that no-one had been killed. Instead, they were loudly indignant, as if they were the victims of the drama, heatedly objecting to the discomfort of handcuffs, and demanding to know why their phones had been confiscated. While, within earshot, injured children were being rushed to hospital.
Scenes like the above, of which there were many, may explain why progressives disliked the series, dismissing it as “copaganda”… I suspect the actual objection is not so much, as claimed, that the series portrayed the police in a sanitised or flattering light, as the officers were rarely the focus of the viewer’s attention.
The stars of each episode, if that’s the right word, were usually the lawbreakers. They, not the police, held the attention. They were generally the ones driving events, whether those events were alarming or farcical. And so, the series offered a glimpse into the mindset of the criminals – the recurring patterns of malevolence and selfishness – in their own words and by watching their own actions.
And obviously, we can’t have that. It makes pretentious sympathy much more difficult to muster.
On crime, criminals, and progressive unrealism.
well l got nooooooo doubt the LA version featured stars whose motive included bragging rights for being featured on the shew. plus the loot of course. always the loot.
The end of the Internet is a quite real escape for the crooks that currently run this system as everyone and everything is hooked up to it.

I certainly urge caution in being prepared for that inevitable event.
Smoke and mirrors are everywhere to distract the population from this preparation of the Internet closing so no one can access our crooks escape plan.
What would honest journalists find if they dug into the voting patterns of criminals, especially weapons involved crime? Those who vote Conservative, or “progressive”?
My guess is that they don’t vote at all because they don’t care who’s making the laws. They ignore laws regardless of the party that enacted.
That’s just my guess, mind you.
A culture growing up parentless raised on Grand Theft Auto should not be taken lightly. But you know, it’s hard to put the cat back in the bag, especially when Social Justice demands that you don’t.
Try reading this report and not seeing the correlation to our political “leaders’ in Ottawa.
