Trevor Noah calls for a change in Cop Shows

     Maybe I should call this Cancel Cops Shows, Really? Part 2 as well. Cop Show has been popular since the early days of TV (heck probably since the days of radio) with Dragnet, then came Highway Patrol, Dragnet spin-off Adam-12, CHIPS, among others in the 1960s and 1970s. Then came Hill Street Blues which changed Cop Shows and also another show by Steven Bochco NYPD Blue, and The Shield. Their still popular with it seems like half of CBS programming, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Law and Order shows (which includes the Elliott Stabler spin-off also prepare for Christopher Meloni return to SVU, welcome back Chris) Chicago PD, the Rookie, among others. Most people's perceptions of cops are because of Police Shows and those shows glorify cops as Trevor Noah said on the Daily Show on June 25th, also he told creators, writers, and producers of those shows that been tweeting about things needed to change with the police that they should do something about it on their shows. Granted yes sometimes they do stuff that in real life would get them fired like beating the confession out of the suspect and now with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, among others the system needs to change. Also, the way the cop shows are done needs to change as well. Can Hollywood change policing if they change Cop shows? Maybe not but doesn't mean they can't try. Plus it might faster change for the shows to change how they do things than what legislatures will do because both Democrats and Republicans aren't going to agree on Police Reforms (Prove me wrong guys). Granted yes with the Pandemic, it's going to be a while before we see our shows come back. I wonder what's going to happen first. I know Chicago PD can do this and they started to do it when Atwater told the truth about a racist officer who was killed chasing down a black guy with a bag for no good reason and mentioning on a previous post that the dead cop's buddies taunted Atwater in the final scene of season seven and Voight said he would have Atwater's back. So when season eight of Chicago PD starts, there's going to be a continuation of that storyline. However, would Hank Voight's past come back to haunt him in more ways than one? One of the skeletons in Voight's closet is the setting up of Denny Woods. Woods was investigated of the death of the guy who killed Voight's son (Voight killed him) and arrest Voight's pal and member of squad Olinsky for being accessory to murder. When Voight was about to confess, Olinsky died. Voight worked a plan involving the Assistant State Attorney Osha who if I recalled was the prosecutor for both Voight and Olinsky to entrap Woods. They have a woman say she'll testify only if she gets paid 10K. Woods ended paying her 5K and ended up in handcuffs and the plan is revealed after Woods' arrest. Granted yes, Woods took the bait and should have either arrest her for asking for the bribe or told her to Get Lost (although that's a crime as well {failure to report a bribe] just ask Eddie DeBarolto) and yes antagonist usually go bye-bye but I don't like how the main character set him up. Also, with the ASA helping him (that's got to be disbarred territory as well as prison time, entrapment is a crime). Don't know what happened to Woods (or Osha) nothing was mention after his arrest. My guess is Woods took a plea deal to retire from the Chicago PD in exchange for the charges dropped, anything else and Voight would been in trouble (unless Osha took one for the team). I still believe Jason Beghe's Voight makes the show however with things today. Maybe it would be a good thing if Hank Voight is removed from the show (at least the department) and have Halstead take over the squad and handcuffing Voight. Hey, I think Leroy Jethro Gibbs from NCIS went too far at times like arresting a Marine Colonel (played by Robert Patrick) for a crime (bounty hunting) in Mexico and transporting there. It should be noted that Gibbs himself is wanted in Mexico (killing a drug kingpin who killed his wife and daughter). My mom isn't going to be happy with me for this because she's a big Gibbs fan. Also, is Colonel Bell actually dead? Would it actually change things? Maybe, Not Maybe but if fictional cops can clean their acts so can real cops. You're move Hollywood.
