WriterDojo

Something a little different this week. The Black Bag Interviews recorded at LibertyCon 2023 continue with hosts/authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia sitting down to discuss/geek out about video game writing with a master of the craft- Brian Urbanek. (If you don't recognize the name, you'll probably recognize one of the FIFTEEN titles he's written for. Titles like Call of Duty, XCOM2, Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War, and others)

"Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor—by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world."  

Law Enforcement has been covered in all forms of media pretty much as long as there has been media. What do people get right and what do people get wrong?
