Personality. Which isn't actually bad, as they're not tying to paint her as some superbadass right of the bat. She just isn't Michelle Rodriguiz

So, is anyone surprised the pilot featured a plot centered around an unarmed black man being shot by a white police officer?

It's almost...almost trying to bait people to make it an issue when...no one cares anymore

Episode 2, Hondo takes a shot with a 10in 416 from a moving helicopter and gets a head shot.

Then there's a scene where the guy was storming the house with a shotgun and instead of shooting the guy when he enters, they jump him, trying to grab the weapon. Bullshit. There's a lot of grappling suspects that are clearly being a threat vs shooting them, even during the training scene in the beginning of episode 2

Besides liberals and BLM, at least. But since when have we cared what they think?

Yeah, I'm less concerned about that shot than him suddenly pulling a Black Hawk out of his ass.

When I was watching the previous scene when Hondo asked for a favor, I joked about asking for a helicopter and then...they brought a helicopter unironically....and I kept shouting that I was fucking joking

It'd be one thing if it was a Bell 206 or Eurocopter AS350 actually used by the LAPD, but a Black Hawk?

Maybe they think SWAT is the military

I think I mentioned this before, but I was really surprised to see Black Hawks at all. I didn't think any were available unless you got help from the Pentagon. But I looked it up, and the government started selling surplus Black Hawks a few years ago.

It's no surprise. There's been government funding for police departments for years. People are against the so called militarization of the police force.
