This is a really important point to make. Glorified violence on television never really shows the impact injury and death have on people. "Bad guys" have nobody to cry for them, because they are really evil at heart and deserve what they got. Action scenes have lots of stuntmen being thrown around by explosions but you never hear the screaming and crying that should come afterwards. Violence solves a lot of problems on TV...
I would like this to be shown on television, just because it forces people to deal with "true" violence and it's ramifications- hopefully promoting empathy or concern.
