Is it just me, or does crime documentaries have a biased "pro-cop" vibe to it?

I'm talking about those youtube videos.
Feels like lowkey copaganda to me.
You're viewing a single thread.
What do you expect, do you want a crime documentary to sympathize with the criminals?
Occasionally they take the "investigation bungled by police" angle, but that's the exception rather than the rule.
People want a story to have a conclusion. People who watch these shows want to know what happened.
And "got away on a technicality" stories sound like they'd be lawsuit magnets.
Bailey Sarian takes the investigation bungled by police angle most of the time, but yeah, there is a lot of copaganda around.
Yes!
Nope. But I do expect them to call out incompetence, misogyny, racism...
Jeffrey Dahmer was just a hangry dude !
Jeeeeeeffffrrreeeeyy... That kiiiiiills people!
I always LOVED NYPD Blue growing up because the detectives actually seemed to care. They just wanted to catch the killers/rapists, could give a shit about your parking tickets. They seemed like genuine people who were only looking out for the public. They even went out of their way to keep people out of jail that weren't involved.
