Two South Florida police officers claim Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s recent action thriller “The Rip” used too many real-life details in its fictionalized narrative, causing harm to the officers’ personal and professional reputations.
Look, I get ACAB, but these guys don’t seem to have been accused of doing anything in particular.
It’s wild to make a movie clearly identifying real life people who haven’t been tied to any wrongdoing, and then present them as committing a ton of felonies to include arson and multiple homicides (of fellow cops no less).
Like, these are real people trying to quietly live their lives, and now they have people thinking they’re extremely crooked based on a self-admittedly fictional narrative. It’s irresponsible at best.

Cops not people. Different things. Morality does not apply.
