Since this TV series smugly boasts that its incidents are, in fact, "true" - That, to me, renders this particular episode as being an unfavourable look at certain practices of the LAPD.
What I'm talking about is that police officer McCall had been out of the force for 8 long years and before giving him a proper refresher course on updated police procedures - He was sent directly out on real-life police duty with Malloy and Reed. And, with that, expected to fit right in. No questions asked.
If you ask me - If this was truly how the LAPD re-recruited ex-cops - That, to me, is a really sorry statement about their operation procedures. It really is.
