What's up with TV cop shows depicting "brave" white cops fighting minority higher-ups

Nathan Fillion's The Rookie "joins other police procedurals that position straight white men as heroic outsiders battling shortsighted women and minorities in leadership roles," according to Elizabeth Hoover. In Chicago P.D., Bosch and (the canceled) Training Day, to name a few, white men with a willingness to use off-the-books tactics to protect the city’s most vulnerable are discounted by a system hamstrung by 'political correctness,'" says Hoover. "Even the comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which is now highly praised for its diversity in terms of casting, started its run with a story line about the charming white detective Jake Peralta locking horns with his uptight superior, Capt. Raymond Holt, a gay black man. Holt must begrudgingly admit Peralta is a gifted detective, even though — and perhaps because — he doesn’t always stick to the rules. In these shows, 'political correctness' and prioritizing diversity are depicted as eroding American institutions and endangering our cities." Hoover adds: "Treating white men as outsiders in police departments run by people of color is at odds with reality. In truth, law enforcement faces a diversity crisis — especially at the leadership level. According to a 2016 report from the Department of Justice, police forces consistently fail to recruit and retain people of color, which could be contributing to a lack of trust between police and the communities they work in."

This is why I don't trust cops anymore. How many more cop shows do we really need?

Funny how this seems to be concerned with 'reality' in the sense that police departments supposedly don't have enough minorities yet ignores the reality that virtually all high crime areas in America are overwhelmingly black or hispanic and the crimes are committed by them. Yet magically it's the fault of the police because the police are white. There is no better example of political correctness which are code words for liberal stupidity. If you commit a crime, it's the cop's fault because they're white.

It is the new direction of Hollywood’s elite embracing political correctness in their script writing. From Season 11 - Dr. Who, Star Trek Discovery to the The Rookie it all PC base. Reality is excluded from the scripts as well as fans of the show. PC is PC now!
