this statement from the bodycam game is telling in how it aligns perfectly with the rest of the industry, not how it differs from it
"avoid undesirable topics such as discrimination, racism, violence against women & minorities"
"no manichean take" (bothsidesism)

Much of what the industry sells is power fantasies for the consumer to enjoy playing the role of what is, in our reality, the oppressor.
But dealing with the realities of this oppression might ruin the fantasy, and raise challenging "political" questions - hence, whitewashing

I actually don’t trust film and television on the intelligence of the point of view they present when it comes to police.
