More than 800 people have been shot within this year by police officers. Movies have portrayed officers to gun down bad guys without hesitation. Sara states that people want to feel protected and want officers to "know" what they are doing. Hollywood gives these rolls out to make a hero, savior or even detectives to continue the idea of police men are all good. Police shootings in the movies have to be proven clean and in real life police officers to do not have to be proven until the trail comes up; if a trial comes up. Movies have changed throughout the decades and hollywood likes to be conservative an have their hero cop franchise like CSI or Law and Order. Do you feel that movies have altered your feelings of cops? Personally I believe that without half of the material that I know from watching these shows, I would not know if these shows were not aired. I understand that its not verbatim but I feel that the language and emotions seen are important because it plays on the emotions of people while delivering the "truth" of what is going on.
