In his 'Last Week Tonight' show, John Oliver slammed the 'Law & Order' franchise for selling a "complete fantasy" of law enforcement. We all know in our criminal justice system, there are two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who investigate the crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. However, Oliver is calling them out as "bull****".
According to the host, the series sells "a complete fantasy that too many people in this country are only too willing to buy." He goes on to call it a "commercial" for a "defective product." "If a medical show was giving us inaccurate information, we would say it's dangerous," Oliver said. If 'Grey's Anatomy' put forth inaccurate details about vaccines, he argued, "we'd probably be having a conversation about it, [and] that's essentially what Law & Order is doing."
He pointed out that rather than "depicting a flawed system riddled with structural racism," the show portrays "exceptionally competent cops working within a largely fair framework that mostly convicts white people."
Oliver also pointed out that the show is essentially serving as a propaganda for the police and “makes a lot of choices that significantly distort the big picture of police.”
The live performance will be available to watch on BTS’ official YouTube channel after the concert ends. This is to “make sure ARMY all around the world can watch Jin and Coldplay’s performance.” The concert will take place just hours after ‘The Astronaut’ — written by Jin and Coldplay — is released.
