They don't accurately reflect the way things really are, not in the way that police actually act, nor in the almost universal succeses these shows portray, and certainly not in the noble and courageous way that the police are portrayed. Is it that we enjoy them because we recognize stories about brave, gentle and intelligent police as essentially fiction? Or is there a more sinister aspect to this, that by repeatedly portraying what is demonstrably inaccurate as reality, we are to become acclimated to the presence of increasingly more numerous and intrusive police activity?
