If you think River Ward's storyline is copaganda, then I'm sorry but you have no fucking idea what copaganda is. You're just saying words without understanding what they mean.

Copaganda is a form of propaganda that attempts to influence public opinion about police and counter criticism of police and anti-police sentiments. Probably the most famous examples of this in media is when police bust a place without a warrant or probable cause, but it is portrayed as being okay because they're "catching the bad guys" and ultimately the ends justify the means.

This is obviously wrong because that's not how it goes down at all in real life. And even those suspected of terrible, heinous crimes have legal rights that shouldn't just be tossed away. Criminals, suspected criminals, are human too.

One could argue that River hiring a merc to break into Red Queen's Race without a warrant is supposed to make us okay with police bending the rules, but this goes south pretty quickly, as getting the truth doesn't even matter when the truth was buried by the NCPD to begin with.

River Ward's investigation into the mayor's death reveals how corrupt the NCPD is. He tries to take it to internal affairs, gets suspended right after. This is to show that you might want to change the system from the inside out, but it's not that simple. Ultimately, as a police officer, you have to decide if you want to be a part of the problem, or separate yourself from it. And that's what River does. He doesn't go back to the NCPD. He becomes a private investigator and specializes in missing persons -- something that the NCPD and most police departments in real life can't be bothered to give a shit about.

His story is about police corruption. It is literally about how fucking bad the police are.

So if you still think River is irredeemable because he WAS a cop, WAS a detective afflicted with the NCPD, then I don't know what to tell you. Just keep your surface level takes far away from me.

Ever wondered what a Darisha Voss show might sound like? What would you be in store for if you found yourself lucky enough to be sitting in her audience? You might just fall in love (as so many often do)

Did I make this outfit specifically to match the spotify palette? Maybe
