Going past single-panel rhetoric, does anyone know any great media to showcase this dichotomy of feeling between what police should be, and what they are?
Something like: Highlighting the life and pride of a police officer that loves the force and sees himself as a hero protecting people - then slowly getting sickened by all the protestors insisting police are horrible - before eventually being exposed to the terrible actions of other police before breaking down and doubting their own life’s mission.
The Departed is a great movie in general and it's about two men, one is an undercover cop in the Irish Mafia and the other is a Mafia member working for the cops. They are both trying to figure out who the rat is in their organizations without being found out themselves. May not be exactly what you want, but there's a TON of police corruption in the movie
