..., accusing the Law & Order: SVU star of promoting "pro-police propaganda"

Specifically, The Appeal is calling on Hargitay to exit the NBC series (https://theappeal.org/law-and-order-svu-mariska-hargitay-nypd-special-victims/) for “promoting the false narrative that police need more money to end the rape kit ‘backlog.’” The Appeal says Hargitay "and everyone else involved with SVU are complicit in what is likely the single worst piece of pro-police propaganda produced over the last few decades.” The publication also accuses SVU of “laundering the reputation of the NYPD and its sex crimes division.” The Appeal has reported that the rape kit backlog exists not because of lack of police funding, but because police departments choose to not send rape kits to labs.
