Crime stories

The best thing about cops in foreign stories is their professionalism.

They don't coerce confessions, extort cooperation, or assault anyone.

They don't suborn perjury or commit it.

They don't fake or suppress or tamper with evidence.

They don't think they have a personal mission to punish wrongdoing or prevent crime by any means necessary.

Totally unlike American cops on TV, in movies, or in literature.

And they never ask their peers, "What do we got?"
