1) I noticed at the beginning of the episode, it started as a power struggle between the local police department, the NYPD, and the FBI. This struggle continued throughout the episode and I think it is still seen in episodes and even real life situations today. When the FBI gets involved in investigations, it always seems to have negative connotations. They want to hide or keep certain information from local police departments which does not help either side. Is this just something they try and emphasize in the media to make it more dramatic or does this happen often in actual cases?
2) At the very beginning of the episode when the body was found in the van, one of the police officers started kicking the deceased after his body was literally dumped out of the van. This was extremely shocking to me because you would not expect an officer of the law to behave in such a way. He may have been upset about the prisoner, but he did not act professionally. My question is why did the other cops not try to stop him? This may be another instance in which the media put it's own spin on things to make the episode more dramatic. However, I would not be surprised to find out that police officers still let their emotions get the best of them.
3) The police let their emotions intervene in there investigation throughout the entire episode. There is even one seem when the detective and one of the subjects are having a friendly conversation and laughing. This was unusual to see because you always hear and see on TV the cops laying into the suspects, getting all in their faces and putting pressure on them to tell them everything they know. The detectives allowed personal feelings to get in the way of making objectives observations during the case.
