Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and Griffin Newman (The Tick, played a cop on Blue Bloods) each donated $11,000 to the Community Justice Exchange and are urging other actors who make their money playing cops to do the same
I’m an out-of-work actor who (improbably) played a detective on two episodes of BLUE BLOODS almost a decade ago.
If you currently play a cop?
If you make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in residuals from playing a cop?
I’ll let you do the math. pic.twitter.com/En4ww2OSjP

I could never place this thread as an essay when I wrote it more than 2 years ago, and I got dragged for calling Brooklyn Nine-Nine copaganda. But I was thrilled to see @kvanaren link to it in their @vulture essay, "Cops Are Always the Main Characters." https://t.co/M8SczL7seD

And, with the caveat that some of this is absolutely due to shows like Young Sheldon and reality series, reminder that pop culture influences so much of our very real lives - CBS, a network that is basically 50 percent cop/military/law enforcement shows, retains this title. pic.twitter.com/OeCOa9TdNT
