It's a flaw of the show. The depiction of policing is fundamentally unrealistic to the point of being almost an alternate universe.

That doesn't mean you can't watch and enjoy the show, every show has flaws.

Doesn't B99 regularly dig into the problems of the police force, though? Holt discusses his experiences as a gay, black officer through the decades; Jake find his hard-drinking childhood idol is an arsehole when in real life, not his memoirs; Terry is arrested walking through his own neighbourhood because someone thinks he doesn't belong there...

Just off the top of my head.

The shows a really long essay on "things should be better".

I mean, it doesn't happen very often, a couple times in 6 seasons is a nice acknowledgement but it doesn't take that much away from the fundamental premise of the show.

that said

......what sitcom isn't so wildly divorced from reality that it's functionally an alternate universe? I don't watch sitcoms for serious looks at serious issues, I watch sitcoms to make me happy and *distract* me from the real world for a little bit

I think that's a totally reasonable thing to want, I'm just not sure whether it's good to have that *and also* have the show be set in a police station
