Does the writers even watch or read previous stories? If you have been a faithful watcher of this series then you know that in the episode LDSK, the police officer Scott McCarty was an insubordinate smart ass who didn't like women in charge. At the time he was killed he was being punished, being made to being closed up in the trunk of a car. He also leaked information to the press. Not what I would call a dedicated police officer.
