I worked in a warehouse many years ago, one of the office people also worked in a cop shop. She said the people that worked in the sex crimes dept spent very little time in the dept before moving on because of how fucked up they would get working those crimes.
L&O: SVU was so much stupidity with the same 6 cops working there but not commiting suicide from having to deal with sex crimes 24/7/365.
TV would also have you believe being President of the US is somehow not a job for a clown.
Cops most likely commit more sexual assault than they prosecute.
Less than 1% of rapes lead to felony convictions.

The police aren't there to keep you safe, they're there to protect the interests of the oligarchs
Tesla Lives Matter!
a hybrid of copaganda, and military propaganda NCIS. especially the showrunner/writers goes all thirsty though.
criminal minds too, but FBI-ganda. pre-firing of Hotches actor.
...and then there's "COPS".
I vividly remember watching and loving many of the police dramas when i was younger. C.S.I. being my favourite.
I remember stumbling across COPS on one of the newer "cooler" swedish channels thinking, oh, thats so cool, they will totally be like the shows i like.
After one episode of screaming, loud, obnoxious and frankly stupid people being chased by their equals, my illusion was shattered. Or atleast i knew that COPS weren't for those that likes to see crime get solved.
otoh whenever i think of svu i think of ~~barry allen~~ john mulaney doing ice-t being confused about everything
In Colorado right now, if a survivor goes through the ordeal of a sexual assault evidence exam, the state lab will take 554 days before they get around to analyzing it. (Here's a CPR story about the backlog.)
I 100% guarantee you there are very proper, professional teams of investigators who do prosecute rape thoroughly.

Actual police in small towns are way closer to Reno 911 than Law & Order.
I've seen reno 911.
Ive also seen true evil where the sheriff rules the town with an iron fist, terrorizing everyone he wants to.
Surprised we don't have more shows like that.
Watch the last season of Fargo.
The Rookie is another Copaganda show.
A bunch of cops all nerding out over following the law, ethical treatment of minorities, keeping each other in line, actively forcing out bad cops…
What planet is this?
I really like the cast and the show is fun, but it’s as much fantasy as the Rings Of Power.
Same with CSI and... [unpopular opinion] Brooklyn 99.
Brooklyn 99 was a genuinely good comedy
It was also copaganda
On the bright side, as far as copaganda goes it is pretty mild.
The cops are portrayed as human, and more often than not as incompetent idiots, the federal agents are almost exclusively portrayed as assholes, they never portray violation of rights or due process as a necessary evil, prison is portrayed as, quote, "real bad", a pseudomasculine bigot gets punched in the face, a racist stop-and-frisker is unequivocally an asshole, the most competent cops eventually get sidelined, punished, or straight up quit in moral protest...
It is copaganda, but by the last season post-COVID and post-Floyd, you can feel the wind completely fall out of their sails. They try to wrap up the story quickly while acknowledging the ongoing horrors, and they do their best to recognize the role they played in romanticizing law enforcement by making it clear that everyone on the squad is disillusioned and disturbed by the system.
Several of them flat out quit, and they have an incredible scene of corruption in action where they make it clear that fixing the NYPD through its own internal buearacracy is literally impossible.
Still copaganda for most of the show's run, and also absolutely a genuinely good comedy.
CSI was fun but not as thirsty/sucking off as NCSI. on a several instances the showrunner was virtue signalling at the end of the episode for them, with a message.(its military propaganda but also ties into copaganda too since its on the "civilian side"
Yeah CSI made you think that there was this dedicated team of people trying to get to the bottom of every case being very diligent and careful with every piece of evidence and the chain of custody, instead of a couple of dipshits who forget to label every baggie and throw everything to a box and toss it in the back room someplace.
csi made it seem like it was well funded/overfunded in the labs and investigations too. im pretty most of the funding goes into PR/campaigning and police salaries and pensions, rather than the operations to solve crimes.
The irony with the punisher skull is that he loathed crooked cops, and they’re the ones who love the symbol the most.
In relation the image that the OP posted;

It's a very dark sketch about police "investigating" sexual assassult claims.
