* ''Series/WeOwnThisCity'': while the series opens with Wayne Jenkins (hypocritically) giving a speech to new officers about how brutality is bad police work, the Gun Trace Task Force he runs are openly {{Cowboy Cop}}s, and Officer Daniel Hersl is even transferred to the task force precisely because he has had so many complaints about excessive force ([[InsistentTerminology "only one sustained"]]). The series is set in the wake of the [[UsefulNotes/BlackLivesMatterMovement 2015 Freddie Grey uprising]], with Department of Justice sending agents to investigate the Baltimore Police. The investigators even find that poice brutality is so common it taints the jury pool, as almost everyone called for jury duty has either personal or second hand bad experiences with the police, including one potential juror who tells of being beat up by police at the 2015 protest.
