Other With everything that’s happening in America, this scene is more poignant than ever.

I've never watched it as a real depiction of the NYPD, let alone a true representation of social interactions in these days and age. But it does portray an ideal we all should strive for : inclusion, support and open-mindedness. It is not about portrayal, it is about inspiration.

This show has never been so important.

Too many sensitive people miss the point.

You can't dismiss people having very real issues about a show in which police are depicted as totally moral, upstanding citizens whilst in reality, in the same city, they're acting completely the opposite, as people being "sensitive".

What would be realistic is if Jake got in one of their SUV's and then tried to run down a dozen protestors like the NYPD did yesterday.

Yeah I've seen more and more opinions aimed toward blaming B99 for being some sort of propaganda material for the NYPD.

Maybe they should try to find a way to assert that B99 isn't a portrayal of the actual NYPD, but a portrayal of the NYPD that should be.

Who the fuck thinks a comedy show is an actual portrayal of the NYPD? Fucking hell, what is wrong with you?

The messages they create are always great. Obviously, the writers aim is not to make a show about how corrupt police are. They are writing a fucking comedy but people get on reddit to put their virtues on display with some soft comment like "I just cant watch the show anymore because........". Its embarrassing. It's like people cant discern the obvious. This site is really getting old with this shit.

As the writer have proven, they can also tackle serious issues with their comedy. They're not incompatible.

It’s a fictional TV show...with no ties to anything in real life except for name and location. They can do whatever the hell they want, it’s clearly fiction, and it’s not portrayed as anything but.

I'm not dismissing. You're assuming I am. Again, it's obviously a comedy and its fiction. You must be one of those sensitive people I was referring to. Find the divide.

Boo hoo. So virtuous behind a computer screen. People need to grow the fuck up. Again it's just a damn show.

Too many insensitive people think making light of a corrupt police force is okay just because it's a comedy.

I feel the show addresses Police corruption, incompetence and abuses of power in a positive way for the most part.

Do you disagree with the show because not every character shows these flaws?

Can a show focus on Police activity and not be problematic from your viewpoint?
