The comedic Police Academy franchise shows bungling police. The Choirboys (1977) is an older movie, but it is about a Joseph Wambaugh book and may be more factual than fiction because it is set in Rampart Division prior to the Rampart Division scandals that happened after the Los Angeles Riots of 1992 that caused about $4 Billion in property damage; prior to those riots the Watts riots in Los Angeles were perhaps partly caused or mishandled by the same persons in command in 1965! Los Angeles Police Department was accused of spying of persons in the entertainment industry, and the ACLU filed a lawsuit. Both the shooting of Officer Rothmiller and spying on persons in the entertainment industry may have been done to benefit the oil indusrty.
