its not anywhere near being ready for mainspace and it remains to be seen that it ever could be AMassiveGay (talk) 15:07, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

am i right in thinking...

...anything that doesnt depict the police as violent racists and tools of oppression is 'copaganda'? AMassiveGay (talk) 15:09, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Possibly. Kencolt (talk) 16:14, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

This page does come very close to flirting with that idea that runs counter with our goals on the wiki. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 19:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Added some new things.

Added some stuff about COPS and Live PD. If there are any more shows that are copaganda, please tell me. ^{— Unsigned, by: Demsoc2 / talk / contribs}

The author might want to consider checking a few other, more rigorous sources.

Wikipedia's version for example. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 17:27, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

The Urban Dictionary for another example. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 17:29, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Here's a Salon article about the subject. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 17:30, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

USA centric?

Is this largely a US phenomena? All the references both here and WP seem to be US. If so, then that should probably be mentioned.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 17:35, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

I’m sure pro-police propaganda exists to some degree everywhere where there’s police, but (amongst English-speaking countries at least) the USA seems to be noticeably worse, and the word itself is a US invention (although with US cultural hegemony other countries will have adopted it).
