[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The glorification of policing to young kids is real and it's pretty pervasive. Shows, toys, even clothing--it's surprising how hard it can be to avoid clothes and toys that are cop-themed. You might not notice unless you're trying to avoid these themes.[/quote] Also, no it isn't. I wasn't particularly trying to avoid those themes five years ago when my son was a little kid, and he didn't have one single police themed item of clothing or toy. I know I've seen some lego themed police toys in stores, but my son was never into legos, so we never had any,[/quote] It's funny that you mention Lego, because they are among the biggest players in this. If you walk into a Target today and go look at the Lego aisle, you'll see what I mean. Almost everything that is not cross-branded with a movie is a police set. [/quote]
