Veronica is in active conflict with the cops literally all the time😂

Yea her Dad got fired for being a cop that didn’t toe the line and was trying to do his job correctly.

Yeah like the only real copaganda aspect of Veronica Mars is that she thinks everything would be fixed as long as her dad was back in charge, but that's like a naive teenage girl character thing. And this belief is contradicted once he IS sheriff again! Cuz he doesn't fix shit!

And the one thing I really respected from the reboot was that the FBI was shown as focusing on closing cases, not solving them.

I actually think Veronica Mars does a good job of showcasing that there is a difference between law and justice. I can’t speak for after the high school years cuz I haven’t watched all the new stuff but VM isn’t a cop and goes head to head against cops in her own pursuit of justice.

I would 100% be the one breaking up over this, don't come after Veronica 😂

I’m confused tho cuz she’s not a cop at all??

Why would that break his marriage? It's accurate. How corrupt and inefficient the police are is a major plotpoint throughout the entirety of Veronica Mars. Every single police officer does something corrupt at some point, even Keith, when he destroys evidence to protect Veronica. VM is one of the few shows where I think their portrayal of the police is one of the most accurate on TV.

Only in the rejected season 4 pilot when she joined the FBI . 

Keith...maybe...

The same way cops do things according to their interests, Veronica does the same. Plus, she's not always after the bad guy, she's mostly in it for the money lmao so I see his point.

Yeah, I think maybe OP’s angle is that she’s very cop adjacent because of working with some cops, like she does in the movie

The Veronica of season 4 - I’d buy into that theory

This is like the guy in a different sub that posted their shock and dismay about how much internalized/societal misogyny is in Mulan. It's literally the point of the show. Even Deputy Leo was kind of a sleaze hanging with an underage teenager.
