I recall something I recently overheard from a very excitable young man the other week: "Bro those cop shows were psyops for real"
Not quite the way I would've put it, but considering the change in attitude towards automatic presumption of guilt, and simple guilt by association, I think there's strong merit.
Bro it's always been like that in the US, even before procedural cop shows. We've been imprisoning and executing people based on nothing but feels for the entirety of our existence.
