I don't think it's fair to say it's bad if it's something made before 2010 or so. ACAB and knowledge of the corruption in the police system wasn't something you could just expect people to know about. Especially if it's just a plot about say, the main character's house getting robbed. It would be nonsense for them not to call the police at all, and it would obstruct the plot to have the cop whose role is just a plot device who shows up to get evidence on the crime scene be a dick about Black people or something.

Oh I agree. And I don't think even watching modern cop shows is wrong. I just think there should be a general acknowledgment that there is purposeful whitewashing going on. Some shows are worse than others (I refuse to watch Blue Bloods for this reason among others). But it does exist. Doesn't make watching the shows personally bad.

I highly disagree. Pre-2010 I've grown up with POC and lower class people who absolutely had criticisms of the police system and even my boomer parents talked about "crooked cops" and "pigs". Just because ACAB wasn't mainstream in your bubble doesn't mean this was always a large political topic.
