There are cops that protect the poor against the rich and there are cops who protect the rich against the poor. The former cops get all the lemons and the latter all the juice. As long as there is sufficient of the former than there is still some public support for the police. If there is just the latter, then it is obvious that the police is the enemy of the (poor) people.
This series does not take out the swings that far but it is nevertheless a beginning. The internal affairs cops seem very much to do the errands for the rich in society who give them a splendid career for their trouble and the other cops have to bend the law sometimes in order to make some decency possible and are therefore chased by the internal affairs police, who never risk their lives out on the streets, just like their counterparts in society, the rich and powerful.
This series is a start in the right direction, I think.
