Point of View

edit

This is an unbelievably biased article. makes no mention of "Copaganda" being a concept held by those opposed to law enforcement presence, instead basically treating it as universal objective fact. That's the bare minimum of what this should do--not even mentioning where this term/idea even comes from and how prevalent it is Adam8410 (talk) 15:20, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

It's also inaccurate in the description of the shows. Dragnet and Adam-12 were not a half-hour of people doing the Rodney King beating. Half of the episodes of Dragnet are so not in touch with 60s youth culture that they're seen as kitsch if anything. OJ Simpson shows up in a brief cameo in one episode which deals with minority outreach to the LAPD. There's also an episode where they stop a Neo-Nazi from bombing a school about to be racially integrated. You can tell the people who wrote this article are ignorant and most likely very young, too young to remember when people weren't hyper-partisan. Stoverfan (talk) 03:46, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Not every buzzword you see on Twitter needs a Wikipedia article. Stoverfan (talk) 03:43, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
