Depictions of law enforcement officials (e.g., cops) in the media and in films and TV programs reveal a civilization attitude towards social management of jurisprudence-related ethics.
Do we focus more on cop-corruption and civics-paranoia (or crime-horror) films such as Maniac Cop for perspective on supervision of jurisprudence-matters (e.g., Internal Affairs) or do we focus more on civics-sobering films such as One Good Cop?
Since the release of Alfred Hitchcock's stark-psychosis films such as Psycho, humanity has reoriented its thinking regarding what is 'permissible' in liberal discussions regarding 'human nature,' which invites the ominous question, "Are parental controls on cable TV boxes an indication that 'forms' of censorship may be prudent?" It's a question the Trump Administration may have to deal with very soon...
Furthermore, the release of countless vigilantism-fantasy comic book adapted Hollywood (USA) films such as The Dark Knight and Captain America: Civil War reveals a new age urbanization-related human angst towards 'anarchy-meditation folk storytelling.'
Could this be a sign of Orwellian reactionary imagination?

"Val the Cop" (copyright 2017)
A man sells his child to a drug dealer to feed his addiction (along with his drug-addicted wife). The child is raised by the drug dealer and grows up to be a ruthless hitman for his ‘new father’s’ crime syndicate. The hitman’s name is Leatherface, and he kills prostitutes, mafia-men of a rival mob clan, crooked cops, and basically anyone who gets in the way of his father’s crime syndicate’s new plan of a organized crime enforced ‘urban clean-up.’ Leatherface gets the nickname The Punisher, even though his ‘given-name’ of Leatherface is odd enough, given his deformed face.
A rookie cop named Val is assigned to investigate the activities of the crime syndicate The Punisher works for. The crime syndicate is known as The Red Triangle, and The Punisher is quickly labelled as the Los Angeles Angel of Death. Val refuses to take a partner, since the case is just terrible, and he believes his training at the Police Academy qualifies him to tackle The Punisher in a way that no one else can. However, Val has a serious gambling problem and spends a great deal of time playing blackjack at a local casino every-time he gets his cop-paycheck.
The Punisher is informed by his crime syndicate pals that the LAPD has assigned a hot-shot rookie cop named Val (nicknamed ‘The Spirit’) to track him down and curb the activities of The Red Triangle. The Punisher begins planning how to corrupt and somehow destroy (or kill) The Spirit. What is about to ensue is a historic LA cop-and-goon war, and Val is not shy using a machine-gun in street gang engagements with members of The Red Triangle, though he has not yet confronted The Punisher. The Punisher meanwhile has killed five more individuals in LA.
Val reads the Bible a great deal, especially passages from Chronicles, since it offers him inspiring messages about the consequences of behaviour in the timeline of manmade history (or decision-based causality). Val does not believe in ‘pure luck,’ and he insists that The Punisher is no ‘prophet’ of the profitability of crime. However, Val understands that if he does not conquer his gambling problem, he will not be able to engage with The Punisher in a hypothetical and possible ‘battle-of-wits.’ Val (aka, The Spirit) asks God, “Do I have what it takes to tackle an urban monster such as The Punisher?” and hears God reply, “The only thing that can defeat a monster is a clean and sober cop!”
