I love cop shows and movies, but I could never be a police officer.

Maybe in a small town where nothing really happens. Maybe. But a big city like Chicago or L.A., forget it. Or a sheriff deputy, where backup could be 10 minutes away while I'm in a shootout with a dangerous criminal. Hell no.

Do you watch Chicago PD, Chicago Fire or Chicago Med ? I know you live there, so if you watch them, do you see familiar places in that city ?

My brother’s a retired policeman, and when he watches police shows, he often is critical ("it’s not like that !") In fact, he has said the show that came closest to his day to day experiences as a cop was Barney Miller—and he’s not the only police officer I’ve heard say that. 😊
