    the press hasn’t been a concern to the police for a good long while now, and internal unity is more important than stopping murders (half of what the FBI does nowadays is arrest precincts because they were covering for the cop who happens to be the guy dumping bodies in the woods, bonus points if it’s the woman he knocked up while having an affair with)

      When local cops manage to make the FBI look like the good guys.

      Jesus Christ. This is a boring dystopia.

        Look, consider why you believe the FBI to be the bad guys for a second, on the one hand you have a locally powerful person, easy to bribe, easy to influence, along with a strong insider friend group setting and only the local town will even care much, on the other hand you have the FBI that audits its own members in a beurocratic manner, and is heavily scrutinized by outside institutions.

        I actually find it amazing that people trust their local branch of “the boys” more than the FBI…
