friends don't let friends raise their kids on the police state

Dude, if you look at Zootopia objectively, remove all the personal connections and relationships to the characters... (spoilers ahead)

Judy was hired through a DEI-type program (assistant mayor Bellweather mentioned something about a "mammal inclusion initiative" that got her hired), which is normally a good thing, but they kind of play it like that's the only reason she got a shot at being a cop. Bunnies aren't cops in this world. The police academy was specifically designed for larger, more powerful mammals. Judy had to circumvent traditional training protocol and use her cadets' power and size to assist her in order to graduate.

She goes off-book on her first day. Chases a supposed criminal, causing all sorts of mayhem and damage across town. Insubordination against her boss. But she doesn't get fired, thanks to her political connections.

When she's given a high-profile case to work (again, thanks to connections with the assistant mayor), with no resources to access, she partners with a known shifty scam artist off the street. Blackmails him with tax fraud to cooperate (instead of turning him in). Coerces him to climb a fence so she'd have "probable cause" to investigate the area without a warrant. Basically finding loopholes to circumvent official processes.

She also manages to become part of the family in the local mafia. After a single visit to the mafia, she becomes the godmother of the mob boss' granddaughter. She even uses them later to intimidate a witness to make him talk. Literally threatens to murder the suspect if he doesn't talk!

Then there's the fact that she single-handedly caused the fall of two separate regimes! First, she takes down the mayor for kidnapping predators, then she takes out the next mayor for causing predators to "go savage."

Then she gets the shifty scam artist hired into the police force as her new partner!

From an outside perspective, she's an extremely crooked cop that abuses her position, uses political connections to get her way, makes exceptions for criminals to gain access to police resources, and violates the rights of citizens. ACAB definitely applies to Judy.

What about rule 34 Zootopia rabbit?

• The writing staff literally threw out their scripts and rewrote the final season to try addressing the climate surrounding police violence.
• Stephanie Beatriz tweeted that any actor who makes high number residuals from producing copaganda should donate part of their checks to organizations combating police violence and corruption—she included a screenshot of her $11,000 donation to a couple of charities.
• On the show, her character, Rosa, literally stated that George Floyd was the reason she couldn't continue working as a cop and instead became a PI who investigates corruption on behalf of civilian victims.
• The cast and crew collectively donated $100,000 to combat police corruption and violence.
• The main villain of the final season was lawyer or union leader or whatever who enabled and encouraged police corruption, citing anti-white hate and how it's racist to call someone racist.
• I think it was Terry Crews who said in an interview that the show considered how it could possibly evolve into less problematic first responders or something, but that anything other than pointing out their issues and ending the show felt wrong. I can't remember exactly what was said, and I'd already spent far too much time reading interviews to refresh my memory.
• Andre Braugher reflected on his career of copaganda and how he himself had fallen into the trap of how the media sweeps the police problem under the rug.

I'm sure there's other stuff, but I've already spent an inappropriate amount of time on this comment.

Fin.

All cop shows are propaganda!

Why is NCIS obsessed with Israel? (Video 1hour)

Sadly, yes. Tatchkomas don't have fathers.

In Dredd's universe a "Judge" is a cop, judge and executioner.
