• COPS Creator Admits Manufacturing White Criminal Narrative

    From BTR1701@atropos@mac.com to rec.arts.tv on Thu Aug 6 00:26:16 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.arts.tv

    In an interview, the creator of the TV show COPS, John Langley, admits that he goes out of his way to show more white suspects on the show, even though black people commit most of the crimes:

    LANGLEY: "Here's the reality of street crime. Approximately 60% to 70% is committed by people of color. Only 30-35% of the suspects are white people. In prisons, the numbers are pretty much the same. Around 35% of the inmates are white and the rest are black, hispanic, etc. Now on COPS, we reverse that. We show 60% to 70% white suspects and only 30%, sometimes maybe as high as 40% of people of color. Why do we do that? Because I don't want to contribute to negative stereotyping. Everyone knows that street crime takes place in the ghettos. We all know that, or should know that. All of the white criminals are in corporate boardrooms and places like that because they're not disenfranchised, so they do different kinds of crime."

    Well, there you have it. White people are committing all kinds of crime all
    the time. You just can't see it. It's invisible crime. White people are constantly committing Madoff-level accounting frauds. Happens every day. Millions of white people are out there committing their invisible crimes with the same frequency as blacks and hispanics, you just can't see it.

    Leftist Hollywood TV producers are sure of it. Just ask them. They'll happily tell you. In fact, they're so sure of it, they're willing to put fake racial propaganda on the air for decades, all to counteract this grave injustice they've made up in their own heads.

    This is an incredible quote and it sums up leftism nicely. They actually think they're justified when they lie to you in support of a fake narrative that they've invented because it suits their ideology. When reality stubbornly refuses to comply with the fantasy in their heads, they just lie about
    reality.

    COPS also downplays the type of crimes the "marginalized communities" commit. When they do show bipocs getting arrested for things, it's almost always for things like low-level property crimes or drug possession. If a black guy murders someone or a hispanic guy holds up a liquor store and beats the proprietor, they don't show that. Those crimes only make it on the show if the criminal is white.

    This is why the new phenomenon on YouTube is the police body cam channels.
    They have no political agenda. They just show what happens with no attempt to conform to a narrative. And it's why the usual grievance groups are now pressuring YouTube to "do something" about these channels because they're constantly showing the larger public exactly what cops have to endure from all the diversity out there, and how culturally enriched America is because of
    it.

    They're also pressuring the cities themselves, who are required by law to release the footage to those who request it, but who are nevertheless buckling to the pressure and starting to require disclosure from requestors as to why the footage is being requested and if it's not for what they deem to be a "legitimate purpose"-- i.e., for court or a lawsuit, etc.-- imposing onerous fees in order to obtain it.

    California leads the way on this (as it does with most bad ideas). State law prohibits public release of body cam footage from law enforcement unless it's part of a legal proceeding pursuant to a judicial order. This is why almost
    all the YouTube police channels heavily feature footage from Florida, Wisconsin, Illinois, New Jersey, and Texas. Conspicuously missing are any episodes showing what happens on the streets of America's most populous
    state.

    Illinois is desperately afraid of losing the race to the bottom, so in the
    last year, several bills have been introduced in the state legislature with regard to body cams. HB 1583 and HB 3524 would have limited access by changing which officers are required to wear body cams in the first place and changed the requirements of when the cameras are required to be operating. HB 3515, HB 3380 and SB 1796 were broader. They targeted the person who requested the footage, either limiting the circumstances under which the footage can be requested, who is permitted to access it, or both.

    So to sum up, politicians and grievance groups are going out of their way to suppress public records precisely because the truth is their mortal enemy and they understand that it is devastating to the fake narratives they want to
    push on the public. These body cams are a window in the reality of life in America that the Left desperately wants to keep hidden, which is why, after vociferously demanding body cams be implemented during the 2020 Summer of
    Love, they've now done a complete 180 and are doing everything they can to suppress them.

    Regardless of what you think about mass surveillance, there's no question that these cameras are in the public interest. They not only reveal police misconduct when it occurs but also protect society against the false claims of racism and police brutality that have become ubiquitous over the last 20
    years. We *should* be able to surveil what our public servants are doing on
    the street, as well as what (and whom) they're having to deal with on those streets. And you should be highly suspicious of any politician, group, or tech platform that wants to hide it from you.

    Americans have a right to see what these people have done to our country.

    I agree completely. In fact, I'd go one step further and strongly
    recommend that every classroom in the land, from nursery schools to universities, have cameras and audio to record what goes on in the
    classrooms so that people can watch what their kids are being told. I
    think people would be deeply disturbed if they saw and heard the things
    that some teachers are telling their children. It's really hard to run
    an indoctrination factory if the parents can literally see and hear what
    goes on and replay it at their leisure.

    As opposed to no scrutiny at all, which is currently the de facto norm. In
    many (mostly deep blue) jurisdictions, the school districts refuse to even release a copy of the curriculum to parents. "No, you have no right to see
    what we're going to be teaching your kid for six hours every day, now please just pay more taxes and shut up."

    In quality, perhaps. Still, I find the mere prospect of being a room

    My cynical view is still that parents' relationship with their kids
    should carry the day (...and is usually what's lacking).

    If police, who regularly take on life-and-death matters in the course of

    can too. If the teachers are doing their jobs honestly, rather than brainwashing their charges, they should have absolutely no worries about
    some scrutiny. >
    As opposed to no scrutiny at all, which is currently the de facto norm. In many (mostly deep blue) jurisdictions, the school districts refuse to even release a copy of the curriculum to parents.

    They refuse to share the curriculum with parents? That's incredible! How
    do those school boards get re-elected???

    I remember looking up the curricula for the various grades in Ontario
    without any difficulty; they were all on the Ministry of Education's
    website. Of course I don't know if that's what they ACTUALLY teach or if
    that is just what they're SUPPOSED to teach! And that's why I feel
    strongly that the classrooms need to be monitored for sound and video
    both with everything that happens subject to review by the parents and,
    of course, relevant personnel in the school.

    I strongly suspect this would uncover a surprisingly large amount of
    "extra material" that aims to make little "progressives" out of each and
    every one of the students that can be persuaded.

    Here's just one example:

    Exactly. A teacher who is NOT trying to brainwash a kid into some
    radical ideology has nothing to fear from a camera monitoring the
    classroom, just like somebody walking down the street has no reason to
    fear from cameras in home security systems. But those cameras COULD
    detect the teachers that are indoctrinating kids into values that are contradictory to the parents' own values and/or those of the school board.

    As are the police. In fact, the police are expected to perform a much more stressful job that demands instantaneous judgment calls with potentially
    lethal results, all while being subjected to that same hypercritical scrutiny. If body cams are good enough for the cops, they should be good enough for teachers, also.

    These little collectivist apparatchiks in the public schools are working for us. We should know what goes on in those classrooms. What they're being
    taught, what 'decorations' adorn the classroom walls, what political opinions the teacher is bringing into the classroom, what things they're purposely trying to hide from the parents, how much of their sex lives they feel compelled to share with the students, etc.

    Just like with the police, if they're doing their jobs properly, they have nothing to fear.

    To be a substitute teacher now, you have to have college credits just as

    Everyone who works retail is in a similar position.

    In quality, perhaps. Still, I find the mere prospect of being a room
    with 20 kids whose parents are watching with thumbs poised terrifying.

    Good. I'd rather our public servants feel terrified of those they serve rather
    than the feeling of entitlement they currently display with appalling frequency.

    Your child-rearing focus differs from mine. I preferred my kids to be
    exposed to the widest variety of thought that they could handle.
    Doctrine (even parental doctrine) is never indelible.

    As opposed to no scrutiny at all, which is currently the de facto norm.

    I am shocked SHOCKED by this inconsistency in moviePig's position on >>whether things can function with scrutiny! This is so unexpected.

    In many (mostly deep blue) jurisdictions, the school districts refuse
    to even release a copy of the curriculum to parents. "No, you have no >>>right to see what we're going to be teaching your kid for six hours
    every day, now please just pay more taxes and shut up."

    There is no legal refusal. A parent must file a public records request.
    If the local newspaper is interested, they have attorneys, or IJ or the >>state ACLU or Common Cause may help.

    My mother had a masters in education and was a substitute teacher once I >>was older. She got curricullum. Are not parents substitute teachers any >>longer? There is no way to keep it secret.

    To be a substitute teacher now, you have to have college credits just as
    you would for a regular teacher, and be certified. My exbf is ABD in >geology/paleontology and was well versed in biology. He couldn't get a
    sub job until he took several education classes despite his extensive >science education. You can thank George Bush and his No Child Left
    Behind proclamation.

    I don't pretend to know what changes NCLB made to certifiction. i can
    tell you that my mother was a full-time public school teacher and was certified. During marriage, she maintained her certification but did not
    teach till my younger brothers had gotten a little older and she could substitute.

    In college, I had a part-time job in education reviewing transcripts of students applying to the college teaching program. If they took a
    liberal arts course and some high school somewhere in the state offered
    the class in that subject. I certified them to teach that course.
    Anthropology, for instance, was offered at a half-dozen high schools,
    but if the applicant had taken such a course, I'd certify her to teach anthropology.

    Elementary school certification required majoring in education and
    graduation from the normal school at university. High school
    certification required the usual liberal arts degree with a certain
    number of education credits.

    I remember reading that back in the day. That they "rig" the show so
    that an equal amount of white arrests are shown along the blacks.

    COPS still got a lot of shit about it from the usual grievance peddlers.
    So did America's Most Wanted. That show did NOT do this. The majority of
    the fugitives were POCs.

    I think this is why FOX ended up canning COPS and AMW. You'll notice all
    the anti-cop crap and criminal sympathy really ramped up after these
    shows went off the air.

    Trump is the king of the white criminals, with almost 40
    convictions for fraud. All he ever does is whine like an old
    bitch about being a victim. Fucking snowflake.
