As more and more of these stories of corruption and brutality and racism in the NYPD come to light, it's kind of hard to go back and watch reruns of Law and Order without thinking of that noble bastard Lieutenant Ed Tucker of the Internal Affairs Bureau as the hero, right? Feels weird that this whole time I've thought of him as a paper-pushing cheese-eater just trying to jam up a good police like Stabler, a guy who may play by his own rules, but always gets the perp in the end. I was so wrong. Turns out Law and Order, and pretty much every cop film ever are basically Dexter, or on some Paradise Lost shit. The devil is the protagonist.

You were watching a show called 'Law and Order' in the early noughties? You must have been obeying the 'law' and living a life of 'order.'
I thought I was?
I am going to have to agree that the demonization of internal affairs detectives by every TV and Movie ever is a bad idea.
but whodunnit?
