The TV show, Dear Gentle Reader(s), is Southland on NBC. The scene is between two police cars, one a cruiser on patrol, the other a vice squad sedan. There’s a man sitting in the back of the vice car. A disbelieving cop in the cruiser is saying, “There’re signs every two feet;” the LAPD has a park under surveillance. How could a guy get arrested? There are signs and warnings all over the place. But there sits the unhappy fellow.
The penultimate scene is in a bar, and the fellow in the cruiser is saying, “I had a shitty day. I got arrested.” Unnoticed a few feet away, the cop who couldn’t believe someone would be stupid enough to get arrested in a park which was known to be patrolled by LAPD says, “I had a shitty day, too.” (It was a tough patrol.)
No mention of the fellow from the park’s infringement, just a reference to the arrest. No particular overt signs in the bar, but you’d have to be blind, DGR(s), not to know that the officer and the fellow from the park have something in common.
“We are everywhere” is a slogan du decade (or more). Is it such a truism that there’s no longer any need to “spell out” the officer’s dating habits? Or is NBC a participant in the “great conspiracy,” the “great agenda,” about which the fundies keep bleating?
Stay tuned.
