Early True Crime was kind of interesting. They were kind of like mysteries and added interesting insights into the mindset of various criminals. Then they became popular and a bunch of podcasts and Youtube channels popped off with sensationalist headlines and videos. Most of them have a pro-cop angle that’s frustrating.
Looking into True Crime turned me further away from trusting law enforcement. The number of cases where the police do absolutely nothing (like Jeffrey Dahmer) or mock the victim before brushing them off (Brandon Teena) will kill anyone’s blind devotion to law enforcement. At least it did for me.

Almost certainly some fed funding there for the pro cop lean, like how they do for the military in Hollywood
