I know it’s common for RE fans to lament the fact that Leon never got to live his dream of being a cop but I feel like he was going to have a severely rude awakening resulting in the loss of his innocence either way. His chief of police was a serial rapist and murderer who liked to taxidermy his victims’ bodies. In an AU where umbrella never existed and there’s no zombies he most likely would have been harassed/threatened off the force bc he tried to expose Irons.

as much as I think the sign fumbled the emphasis on it, Narong was like. definitely definitely wrong.
regardless of your opinions on vigilante justice (and whether you can confirm someone 100% did something that warrants it) y'all
he kidnapped and tortured victims of assault
like the show didn't set up bad guy kill bad guys so maybe good guy?? the show showed us 3 traumatized people who were forced to commit murders. that isn't a matter of whether the victim deserved to be killed, it's a matter of the murderer taking away the agency of these people again for his own motives.
the cycle of violence here should have been emphasized more but it still felt easy to connect the dots that the bad guy was victimizing innocent people based on his perception of reality and that's bad
his justice wasn't justice whether you think the victims deserved to be murdered or not.

You are a hero.
Of course you are; that's the job.
To hold the line between order and anarchy.
To be the protector of the peace.
Where would the world be without you?
Without your wisdom?
Your dignity?
Your strength of purpose?
You are the inheritor of a sacred charge, forged in the embers of war.
A defender of humanity itself.
You are a hero.
When you take up arms, it is in the name of justice.
Of honour.
Of righteousness.
You do what must be done.
No matter how difficult.
No matter how painful.
And you know you will be recognised for your sacrifice.
By your comrades.
By your superiors.
By those in whose name you fight.
You know you will.
Because you are the hero.
"We shouldn't murder innocent children – but the guilty ones need to be punished."

Am I the only one who hated that scene in 9-1-1 where the team goes on a call while unknowingly high, and then get handcuffed by the police once Athena realizes they're high? It just made no sense for Athena to handcuff people she knew who weren't hurting anyone and were drugged against their will.
And the scene is pretty much just played for laughs, without anyone questioning why Athena would do this. Not to mention Eddie is on the verge of crying, and handcuffing him was the last thing he needed while he was stressed over being nonconsensually drugged.
That scene perfectly epitomizes one of my biggest issues with the show, which is all the focus on Athena and the policing storylines. They make Athena seem like she can do no wrong and that her work is crucial to public safety, when it's obvious half the things she and her colleagues do just escalate the situation. Copaganda at it's finest.
Don't even get me started on the police brutality plot, where they downplayed and quickly concluded her family's very real trauma and May's legitimate criticism of police. 🙄🙄
