You really try to outdo yourself with each post, don't you.

He actually took the title of "police intern" when he was working on Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets. I just picked it up yesterday and read the afterword (in the middle of another book right now) and he said he did pretty much everything a detective does except arrest people. Only one instance where a guy was trying to run and he got him against a car and the detective he was following told him to pat the guy down.

So these folks did a commercial for the show saying it was authentic. Any chance they were paid to say that? I suspect so. It was certainly in their own self interest to promote the show.
I dont intensely dislike the show. Just think its a bit overhyped with a tendency to attract the same type of wannabe crowd as breaking bad.
