In the US the police have won multiple court cases (including cases heard by SCOTUS) that the police are under no obligation to protect members of the public except when the danger is created by the cops.

In my opinion depicting the cops as even kind of competent and interested in solving crimes is copaganda.

Still copaganda. He’s an “antihero” who is portrayed as getting the right answer the wrong way.

I remember a Fresh Air interview with a colonel from army intelligence who was very clear that torture didn’t work, forming a relationship involving mutual respect does.

It would probably be “1000s”.

Smaller roman numerals before larger are subtracted from the nearest larger numeral.

So, IX (1 10) is (10-1)=9. “LLM” would be (50 50 1000) which would probably be (1000-(50-50))=1000. It could be (1000-(50+50))=900 but that would more correctly be written “CM.”
