This feels like grasping. She literally tells her dad that he's a good cop and that if he didn't have the badge, someone not as good might take his place. It's the bad apple discourse that won't die. Miles' dad is also a "good" cop in the film whose death, acc to every character and the whole story arc, would be a tragedy.
Not to mention super heros in general are just cops. Miles always busts small time petty thieves, like the Spot, who initially was just gonna rob an ATM and said "this is insured, it hurts banks, not the small business owner" or whatever. And he was right!
I love superhero media, it's junk food to me, but I'm not gonna pretend they're not cops or that the corporations selling superhero media aren't pro cop. Spider-man doesn't go after landlords and business owners. He goes after ppl who steal to survive and cartoon villains.
My point is that there is enough material in the movie to make some agitprop out of it, especially when you compare it to most other media like the MCU or Transformers.

Yeah, I don’t disagree with any of this.
