In 2017, a woman in South Carolina was watching Live PD—a real-time reality show about cops—when detectives showed up to a crime scene where her son was shot, and died, on camera. She later told KDSK TV: “The way they showed it on TV, that’s wrong. For a parent to find out about their child [like that], you don’t do that. […] He was just laying there and they were still filming it.” The show is still on the air despite this, a fact I learned to much horror when Lana Del Rey began dating Live PD “star” Sean “Sticks” Larkin back in September.
Why anyone would date a cop, let alone be attracted to a cop, is unfathomable to me. Especially when you consider The Rule of Cops, which is: If you date a cop, you are a cop! This makes Lana Del Rey the most famous pop star turned cop in history, considering the Instagram photo she posted last night featuring Sticks.
As People reports, Lana Del Rey has previously spoken about Sticks’ career choices, telling the LA Times: “He’s a good cop. He gets it. He sees both sides of things.” She didn’t elaborate further on what “seeing both sides” means, but it sounds an awful lot like justifying police brutality! Speaking of: multiple people featured on the show have later filed brutality lawsuits against its “stars,” many of which have now withdrawn their police forces from production because of the negative publicity it generates.
