Law and Order: SVU

Today I watched an episode of Law and Order:SVU about corruption among the detectives in the Special Victims Unit. The detectives were under investigation because of a man they were trying for murder who used their previous slip ups to discredit them. Detective Stabler was accused of getting his daughter's DUI charge dismissed, which ended up being true, while Detective Benson was found to have given money to her brother who was a fugitive. Detective Tutuola, who happened the be the defendant's previous step dad was hit the worst when the defendant revealed that he held evidence in his car for a day after he found it on a criminal. I think this episode was blatantly commenting on the amount of corruption among the police, even when it's so called "good cops". I think the writers of the episode were trying to make the audience see that even cops are normal people and they sometimes make mistakes too, or help out their families, like anyone would.
