    This is even funnier as someone who watched the entire film because >!they weren’t actually corrupt, they were just trying to find the person on their team who was!<

    The idea that the police must be held above suspicion and assumed heroic is one of the worst things that can happen to good law enforcement. Good law enforcement requires the public to always be scrutinizing the cops.

              And blockaded the blockade… with ships that have been at sea too long without resupply… that can’t get it from one of many us bases in the area due to them all being evacuated… that are evacuated due to Iranian strikes that took out things like an AWACs plane due to a lack of interceptors… those interceptors are about $3 million a pop being used to shoot down shahed drones that cost under $50k… those very costly patriot interceptors have to be used due to the us administrations snubbing of the only nation that has “the cards” when it comes to full on modern drone warfare’s offer of support…

              There is a hole in your military, dear Lisa, dear Lisa.

      If some random Redditors are to be believed the film actually paints the police in a semi positive light. There are a few bad cops but supposedly at the end most of the cops are shown to be acting with integrity.

        Okay.

        But the thing about defamation lawsuits is that the plaintiff (Miami PD) has to show and demonstrate that it’s in fact defamation. Mostly that comes down to lying about it and causing reputational harm.

        The defendants (or rather a team if interns owned by their lawyers,) gets to go into the the plaintiffs records to discredit those claims.

        In other words, the lawyers will get an all-access pass to Miami PD’s normally confidential files detailing extensive corruption. Because let’s be honest, there’s corruption there.

        They’ll drop it before it gets to discovery.

          Or they will just not comply with discovery, and also demand the case be sealed. As is tradition lately.
