Christopher MackeyGUEST
It used to be that if you watched Dragnet, say, in the 1950s, the presupposition for the show tends to be that the police will act in a reasonable way and will use their own sort of investigative powers to divine the truth, and we should trust them.
Christopher MackeyGUEST
Then in the 1990s, as sort of general trust in the police fades, you see shows like NYPD Blue, where Sipowitz coerces people into confessing by threatening them or whacking their heads onto the table.
Christopher MackeyGUEST
And the way the show works, though, is that you always see from the start who's guilty.
Christopher MackeyGUEST
So you always think as a viewer, yeah, you know, he's going to make the pedophile confess or whatnot.
Randy BarnettGUEST
Now, the guys that did the arrest, the arresting officers who were tactical policemen, which is a plainclothes unit that does arrests around the city, but they're not detectives.
Randy BarnettGUEST
On Hill Street Blues, the Andy Sipowicz character, I'm sorry, the Andy Sipowicz is NYPD Blue.
Randy BarnettGUEST
But the same actor, Dennis Franz, played a character on Hill Street Blues that was very much like these tack cops.
Randy BarnettGUEST
And they were very they were very hard driven, tough guys.
