Exactly. Literally every other part of law enforcement is vilified, including all precincts other than the 99, federal law enforcement (mail police(?)), lawyers (defence lawyers definitely, I don’t remember if prosecutors were really present).
Honestly I don’t know if the show had a pro-cop agenda. If it did, it failed to deliver it, but I don’t think it even did. I think they just wanted to make a high-energy sitcom about cops, and they didn’t want to make the main cast unlikable.
Defence lawyers are only really vilified for opposing the police. After all, they’re helping someone the police arrested, and everyone the police arrest are evil, right?
In the show, defense attorneys were called out for being knee deep in the system and their careers holding more value than ‘justice’, or that’s how I read into the Jake-dating-a-lawyer episodes. Her boss was dirty, she was mad he exposed that and jeopardized her career.
