As a kid, I enjoyed watching COPS the tv show. As some years went on, not really being a media person or keeping up with tv in general. I was at a friends house and they put on COPS. I thought I used to love this show as a kid. As I watched at first with nostalgia, grew into discomfort. I kind of had a realization how screwed up that show is and how people cheer for mistreatment of others. Consciously or not, how does a libertarian society not have this happen? Let alone puppet masters playing on the unknowing? Turning into a “bread and circus republic.” I tried to keep it short. Thanks for your answers.
