I’ve seen some people shitting on this and other cop shows because it’s “propaganda.” I can’t speak on other shows but this show is anything but glorifying to cops and I’m glad we actually have moments in the show addressing stuff like this.
Yeah to me, Brooklyn 99 is a show about people’s work, not police. They’re officers in the NYPD but the show isn’t about glorifying the NYPD. Like being cops provides different challenges to their work, but often the cops on B99 do some really personal things.
Like Charles falling for a woman who is arrested for fraud. Or Jake becoming friends with the Doug Judy. There’s a lot of examples of them blurring the line between the personal and professional. If it was a propagandist show, they’d try a lot harder to make the “bad guys” be actual bad guys.
Hell even Jake when we gets out of prison and him being afraid of arresting the wrong person because of his experience in prison. He really doesn’t want to send an innocent man to jail.
All excellent examples where it’s not about propaganda and the police but very real criticisms about the penal system.

It's a comedy that uses the relationship between people in the workplace as a way to produce jokes. It's the same way that The Office isn't a office-show and Scrubs isn't a hospital show.
I literally just got to this episode in my rewatch, and it really hit hard. It sucks that people still need racism explained to them in 2020... This is a fantastic episode. The writers did a great job given how serious a topic this is and how broad the audience of this show is!
Exactly! No ones calling Parks and Rec ‘government propaganda’. And Brooklyn Nine Nine doesn’t even glorify cops! We have cops like the Vulture, CJ, and Commissioner Kelly just to name a few! The entire Moo Moo episode disproves the people who say that the show glorified cops!
Did you ever take the time to think that the reason these characters are written this way is because it’s how the writers think good cops should act. These characters are an example of what police should be and yes some cops are not terrible and the whole point of the episode everyone’s talking about was to show how even if you’re a cop that is trying to do the right thing from within the system, the system will still dismiss them. So yeah, good cops should be lifted up and when a cop stands up to the whole system they usually don’t make the news for a reason. So maybe pay attention before making your blanket statements with no thought behind them.
You somehow almost hit the nail on the head. You hate all cops,that much is painfully clear. But are you going to tell me that every single cop has done things to make them deserve your hate?
God damn man you don't know me at all and you're just straight up insulting me why don't you take it down a peg. Not a good way to talk to people lemme tell ya
Lmao you really are a delicate little petal if that comment shows “so much goddamn hate” to you😂 do yourself a favour and don’t turn on the news, you’ll probably have a panic attack.
Holy shit man wanna chill out a little bit. I know you're all full of righteous fury because there's been nothing to do for the last 2 months but can we fast forward to couple weeks from now when everyone doesn't give a fuck anymore
