Democratic capitalism (capitalism + democracy) alongside a strong and efficient social welfare system is what I personally adhere to.

Which one. Andy griffith or emergency?
Sorry i misread the description of emergency. Let me start over.
Emergency showing how boomers value other emergency services doesn’t negate the point that they value the police, whereas newer generations tend to reject the police.
yeah im just saying one show does not mean anything. heck andy griffith was more a small town show than a cop show. The town was so small that the sherrifs office was one of the few public services in the area. It was more akin to little house on the prarie. I mean going the opposite we have blue bloods, chicago p.d, swat, fbi, the rookie, oncall are all recent cop shows but we also have 911, chicago fire, station 19. I would say cop vs general emergency responder vs hospital/doctor show ratios are not that different today than back when boomers were the main television audience. Those types of shows were always popular structures to run dramas from. Both I would say have about the same on private eye type stuff although there was a period. sometime around the original fantasy island I would say. were there was an unusually large amount of private eye ones for some reason.
Nor have I said so. I was giving an example of how the boomers have valued cops, and how they view them.
Sure, but the underlying effect and message of the show was “hey cops are the good guys, they’ll look out for your family”
That’s far better argument. Though I’d say it still misses the mark because even those shows are still meant for an older group. Gen Z isn’t watching those shows. The closest is Brooklyn 99, which is closer to pornography than reality, or an attempt at reality. There’s also true crime, but often the value there is morbid curiosity, not “cops are good”.
