It shouldn't be an essay[edit]

am i right in thinking...[edit]

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, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 19:12, 14 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).
