“Who Loves Ya, Baby?”, Kojak And The TV Police Versus Real-Life Police: An American Indoctrination

Omar Moore examines the decades long indoctrination of Americans (and many other societies) by police television dramas (and films) juxtaposed against actual reality. The question is, what lens do you primarily view the police through: TV/movies or the centuries of real-life police killings of Black people including in 2020, ala Breonna Taylor and George Floyd?
