If the real life details make your officers look bad maybe your officers should stop doing shit in real life that is not good.
Hella unsurprising it’s Dade County police.
That’s not what the article is saying. Did you read it?
It’s in the very first fucking paragraph.
And it’s clear you stopped reading right there.
The movie is based off a real event in which those two officers are identifiable. That event was a drug bust and a large amount of drugs were confiscated.
The film then diverges from reality (by its own admission) and has those two identified officers murder a supervisor under direction from the drug cartels.
The real officers are saying that they were clearly doxxed in the beginning of the film (using too many real life details), and then the film represents them doing horrible things they didn’t do.
So no, the “real life details” did not in fact make them look bad.
You want me to believe a cop doesn’t work for a cartel lol you’re insane
Are they saying that’s not their cartel or something I don’t understand
I do not see any of those details mentioned in the entire 5 paragraphs of the article. Is there more hidden behind a paywall or is there another article with that info?
I see no paywall, and I’ve loaded it a few time (though you do have to scroll past a huge ad to keep reading, which is annoying.) It’s way more than 5 paragraphs though.
From the article:
Although Smith and Santana aren’t named in the film and weren’t involved in its production, the lawsuit claims that Santana was serving as the lead detective assigned to the real case, and Smith was the sergeant who supervised the investigative team. The film’s inclusion of real details about the case gives the impression that the characters are based on the plaintiffs, the suit said.
This, the lawsuit claims, has given friends, family members and colleagues the impression that the plaintiffs committed the criminal acts that appear in the film, which include (SPOILER ALERT) conspiring to steal seized drug money, murdering a supervising officer, communicating with cartel members, committing arson in a residential neighborhood, endangering the lives of civilians, repeatedly violating core law-enforcement protocols and executing a federal agent rather than making an arrest.
Well shit, now I gotta assume some extension in my browser is breaking the page. Gonna have to figure out what.
Do you see the read more button at the end? Ideally even ad blockers should not hide that.
Why would officers be suing the actors instead of the showrunner and script writers?
That’s like suing Adobe because someone’s hand-drawn artwork looks too much like one of yours.
Tbf I would take any opportunity to sue Adobe, logic be damned.
It’s in the article. Aflack and Damon are not just the actors. They co-own and run the studio producing the film. They hired a person from the police department in question to consult on the film.
And, to be clear, this isn’t the police department being mad because this paints them in a bad light. The film starts with events based off a real case, but moves into a fictionalized narrative where two cops murder a supervisor while working for the cartels. The cops the characters are based on are suing because people know that the characters are based on them and don’t realize the rest of the narrative is fictionalized.
How do you make a cop from Florida look worse than cop from Florida I don’t get it its like a Nazi who jacked off while inhaling crematorium fumes also fucking corpses before they’re burned how does that make him look any worse than he did
Your answer is in the article.
What a weird way to admit your guilt.
