An old friend edited some of Jerry Bruckheimer's propaganda tripe. The US Navy set up recruiting tables in the theater lobby on Top Gun. The LAPD disavowed the film "Colors" at the last moment to INCREASE the distribution of it's 'telegraphed*' message. The Deal: we give you $tons of free production value, you sell our budgets to the taxpayers.
The negative message is the point of most of Hollywood's crap; how many of us started dressing like Darth rather than wearing a white pullover in 1978? (colorful disco was dying) How many Americun children watch 50 hours a week of gun entertainment, just to get blown away because they twisted their bread to look like a pistol?

In 1998 the B.L.M.

Back Door? We donn't need no stinking back door
Haven't had a back door on this house since a burglar destroyed it in 1997. Haven't locked a door in this house since a burglar separated the bathroom wall from the hall wall, taking out the door jam on someone's 'locked' office in 2008. Haven't locked the front door since an office 'renter' (others were present) tried to kill me with our own garden tools and wiped out three internal doors and one window; LAPD said 'no crime, he says he 'lives' here.
I have never wanted nor needed a back door here in California, NSA has everything that goes through the pipe.

Traffic stop, big red drop-top caddy, guns in my face (i'm watching from sidewalk in front of the house), guns in father's face, kids face down on hot pavement.
LAPD chases suspected burglar up this driveway and 'arrest', i spend a few days washing away the blood.
My church let's out on Sunday, then LAPD stops and writes 'ticket' to a local black child on his bike, AMONG US WHITES AS WE STAND ON SAME SIDEWALK.
My 75 year old black neighbor was shot dead by the LAPD last year on the back lawn of his own gorgeus home in broad daylight. The TV news interviews were of an unknown actor-witness, placing nonsensical blame on the homeowner.
And, every time anyone calls 911 in the Hood, it goes badly for us; we haven't seen a black LAPD officer in a patrol car in ten years. Except- all local motorcycle officers are black.
Uber / Lyft have saved my ass a few times this year. I don't believe i have seen a 'permited' cab driving on this major street more than once or twice in the last TWENTY SEVEN years, except for the drunk YellowCab driver that sleeps in his 'licenced' car around the corner.
