Flashpoint is an enjoyable TV program but things that happen on screen don't happen in real life. Like the woman who holds an abusive cop hostage on his boat and when the episode ends she is free to go. The law doesn't work that way where two wrongs make a right.
In this series no one is ever arrested if there is the lightest amount of justification for their actions and no matter how many innocent lives are put at risk. Another odd episode is the one where homeowners victimized by greedy foreclosures go to the top floor of a building to find the greedy business man. The SRU team doesn't evacuate the building. The just let the workers go back to work at their desks.
Where are the tazers? There have been plenty of episodes where a good tazer would have ended the standoff but bleeding hearts like the makers of this program decided not to employ them because sometimes tazers harm people.
This program is a fun watch but the unrealities are glaring.
