Psych is like the one police procedural that I can think of that simultaneously has almost no regard for the police.

I feel like there should be an inverse procedural, but that just leads me to thinking about Leverage ✨ and I lose my train of thought

Have the police message up the case by being racist. Then have the ex-cop who got driven off the Force use the techniques the police are supposed to use to solve the case as a PI or something.

I think it can be if you make it clear(as possible) that your criticizing.

The Wire isn't pro police (IMHO)

Starship Troopers is mostly a satire of facisim and thusly anti-war to me.

As someone who hates police and the military, and I write a lot of military sci-fi.

my 2 cents for w/e that's worth.
