About this episode
Police on TV, from Law and Order detectives to the reality show Cops give an unrealistic sense of what it's like to be in law enforcement.And some of them are given easier access to city permits for their positive portrayals. On Today's Show: Alyssa Rosenberg , opinion writer covering culture at The Washington Post , argues that Hollywood should immediately (but not permanently) halt production on cop shows and movies and take the time to rethink the stories it tells about policing in America.
