Matt Damon und Ben Affleck wurden von der Polizei in Miami verklagt, weil sie sie im Netflix-Film angeblich als „schmutzig“ dargestellt hatten

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are being sued through their production company, Artists Equity, over their latest Netflix crime thriller, The Rip, which Miami police allege falsely depicts them as “dirty.”

Released in January, the movie, starring Damon and Affleck, opens with a disclaimer that it is “inspired by true events.” Writer and director Joe Carnahan has previously discussed that it was based on the 2016 Miami Lakes narcotics raid, during which the Miami-Dade Police Department — now known as the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Department — seized more than $24 million in laundered cash, marking the largest money forfeiture in Miami-Dade history.

In a new lawsuit, multiple officers involved in the original 2016 bust have claimed that the film has caused “unfair reputational harm,” according to local outlet 7 News Miami.

Speaking to the outlet, Jonathan Santana, the lead detective of the 2016 case, said: “When you rip something, you’re stealing something. We never stole a dollar.”

Santana said that while he was previously praised for his work on the 10-year-old case, since The Rip’s premiere, he has been mocked by people, “pretty much saying, you know, how many buckets of money did I steal?”

I don’t think it’s sue worthy but it must suck to do something by the books only for a movie to come out making you look like a crook.

Police don’t understand the concept of „fiction“, but use it to justify some of their killings? Weird.

Someone call afroman to write a new dis track

Discovery will be fun

Santana finished by noting he „just walked into [his] lawyer’s and paid a retainer with fifty bands, so you know we’re ready for trial“.

Yes. Miami pd: Lets shine an unnecessary light on us because we are “clean”
I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT 🤭

Turning the old adage of “where there’s a hit there’s a writ” on its head.

Did they make a documentary ?

No.

Case dismissed.

It’s a good movie, it’s a good Netflix movie. We enjoyed it

Ha, great way to help restore their image…

This feels like a typical conservative act where every accusation is a confession.

Over the course film and TV history, I can’t imagine how many different occupations have been portrayed or satirized. Teachers, doctors, lawyers, business people…

Only the cops were thin-skinned enough to cry about it. Says it all.

They’re right. Miami especially is well known for having a police force with the highest integrity.

If the shoe fits…

I liked that movie.

I find it odd that the Miami PD is outing themselves.

This can’t be a real thing.

Stupid is as stupid does…

Wait till that super smart janitor at Harvard hears about this I’m sure he’s going to get in on this lawsuit…..

University professors unite against Indiana Jones!!

Ah yes. Because The Rip is the first ever fictional film to portray police corruption.

Hopefully the courts will throw this out swiftly.

If the shoe fits?

Suing the actual actors like they wrote the script
