I mean part of the issue here is they have one definition of "bad cop" and it's "cop who is actively compromised by organized crime" as opposed to "cop who does all the things he's supposed to in his job but is a huge asshole"

So even when a main character objectively turns out to be a bad cop by their own definition he's not a bad *person* and it's just another commentary on how corrupt and broken this city is and we ultimately need to stop more bad guys by hiring more cops

Anyway I like to think after Ed Green left the NYPD on that plea deal (or however exactly they explained him not going to jail) he became a BLM activist Making these videos "As someone who saved New York from a staggeringly improbable number of murderers, the system is broken"

"Throughout the course of my career, I violated the rule of law in numerous ways and saw it violated around me, and the only reason it ever caught up to me and ended my career is because it formed a satisfying end to my character arc"

Oh wow I stopped watching after I moved to an apartment without free TV and just never saw that last season. But to me the only seasons worth watching were the Briscoe and Green seasons.

Yeah it is funny, given the kind of show Law and Order is, for them to just suddenly reveal he had all this drama happening offstage trying to protect his girlfriend from the mob and from going to prison that we just never found out about (because none of his partners did)
