Boondocks was right about BET

Will it show all the people they routinely kill?

We’re full up on copaganda, tysm 🫡

ACAB

ACAB includes tv cops

Hard pass, we don't need cops on mental health calls, full stop

The “entertainment” industry in this country continues to demonstrate a disturbing commitment to carrying water for cops. Such a waste. Maybe this will be a unicorn show that doesn’t shovel police propaganda.

Disgusting

DefundThePolice

maybe instead of making a TV show to try to make us feel sorry for them they can just stop murdering everyone they encounter on these mental health calls 🤔

LAPD are fascist murderers. Stop making them out to be heroes

absolutely not. copaganda to distract from the reality cops murder people having a mental health crisis

Copaganda is trash and mist end.

BET what's wrong with you?

Girl what 😳🫢😕

fuck this copaganda

More shows that lie to people about how policing works?

This sucks. LAPD keeps killing people during mental health calls.
