You know what I miss? TV.

Poking fun at the "police procedure" shows was a great past-time of mine. I think my favorite was SVU-if cops did half of what Benson and Stabler did there would need to be a dozen and one guys behind the scenes filling out the paperwork.

CSI always amused me. It was more a scifi show then a realistic crime drama. I doubt they even cracked a book after season one.

Walter! I squeed. :D

...CSI is sort of a running joke in my department. [he laughs] I've worked with CSU and I did a stint supervising the lab. All of it's just...wrong.

[The policework. Not the science]

...You like cop shows?

My brother-in-law worked DEA for years now, he never heard of a CSU person doing an interrogation.

Of course I do. No better source of comedy. I respect the real work. [As long as it stays away from my business.] It simply isn't sexy enough for television. The real stuff is too slow.

...DEA? [Hoffman smiles] I won't hold that against you or him. 'm sure he's a good guy. I was NYPD.

[He doesn't even bat an eyelash at that] Not sworn cops, no way we'd let them into the interrogation.

There were shows about police?

[expectremorse]

Yeah. Lots of them.

[thebestnose]

Why? What is the appeal?

[expectremorse]

....IT's fun to watch them screw up? I was a cop.

I like to laugh at what they get wrong.

...a stuffed bear?

[expectremorse]

[wry look] you're not supposed to look or know.

[der_umgekehrte]

I'll pretend to be thoroughly surprised then.

[expectremorse]

You'll like it trust me.
