This is even funnier as someone who watched the entire film because >!they weren't actually corrupt, they were just trying to find the person on their team who was!<

    It would be more realistic if a group of bad cops tried finding the one good cop leaking their crimes.

    edit: Look up what happened to LAPD Officer Houston Tipping if you want to know what happens to good cops.

    My thoughts exactly. Almost a complete reversal of "One Battle After Another"; I'm convinced the director for that one just wanted to make everyone look as evil/incompetent/misguided as possible in some kind of botched 'both sides bad' argument

    Thats the most unrealistic part of the entire plot. Cops would NEVER rat on each other, thats exactly what the thin blue line is. "Thin blue line" might as well be "cops before citizens".
