Southland is a good series that follows pretty good procedural cop stuff in my opinion. It has some of the usual TV drama, but the police aspect is fairly accurate.

End of Watch also factors in a scene that involved the cops in a shooting that opened the movie. It went on to mention what the characters had to go through just a little bit.


All cop movies and TV that involve shootings almost always skip out on the massive amount of paper work and hearings and other things related to gunfights that happen.

I remember a funny scene in Bad Boys 2...bad example, where Will Smith joked about just killing a man to save on paper work when reality there's just as much if not more if he had went through with it. I know the character was being sarcastic with his threat.

I think the famous shooting in Heat would of had huge ramifications on everybody involved. Hanna would obviously be called in for his account of what happened and what lead up to it and because a member of his team got killed, it would affect him a lot.
