- Who do we start to empathise with?
At the very beginning of the episode we are already beginning to empathise with the police because Ryan is called to a local disturbance on the beach He does Everything that he can and he still is mistreated by the naturists on the beach. When they get their next call we begin to feel sorry for Jake because he is the new recruit on his first callout and he already has to deal with a difficult situation of a heroin addict which he then has to treat. In every situation in the episode we feel sorry for the police because each time they do their best to protect people but they still get abuse when thing go wrong and are accused of doing the wrong thing. This is why the critics believed that this show was in too much favour of the police because every time the police where being abused for doing nothing wrong.
Good. You show that in their daily work, the police are stretched to the limit and under appreciated as they go about their jobs. You offer two solid examples and explain how the audience are made to sympathise with the police.
