Don't kill me...
First off, let me congratulate you on writing/submitting/selling your screenplay. That in itself is more than I'll ever do. But before I get all mushy, PLEASE- if you're going to make this into a series, do some research...
1) REAL cops don't say Freeze... EVER...
2) REAL cops carry guns- any cops who dont are a danger to themselves, their partners, and to the people they are sworn to protect.
3) REAL cops don't voluntarily go toe to toe- ever. They have access to other weapons (Gun, Baton, OC spray) to give them an advantage so that they don't have to be kicked in the face.
4) REAL cops wouldn't tell the rookie officer not to wear body armor.
5) REAL cops, when confronted by other REAL cops do not fight. They submit, and wait til later to show their credentials.
6) When a REAL cop interferes with another agencies investigation, and it leads to the death of another officer, there is a massive investigation, mandatory suspension of the offending officer, and a court case which would most likely end up in the firing of the officer, and jail time. Sounds harsh for an accident, right? It is, but its the truth.
7) If someone is in handcuffed, ESPECAILLY after fighting an officer, at least TWO officers should 'assist' her in walking. If some fancy chick kept slipping my cuffs, she'd get a face full of pepper spray, and trust me- I can put cuffs on in a way that can't be slipped.
Now- before you flame me, curse me, call me names and shoot me, let me say this- ALL cop shows do these things. I'm not picking at you- as I said before, congrats on getting published- the fights were pretty cool, ( I did like the gun kick in the air, beat the bad guys and catch the gun scene in the beginning, and the I beam scene was great) Also- having the chick from Special Unit 2 as the daughter of the mom/daughter team was enough to keep my attention.
I have been a john woo fan for quite some time, Hard Boiled and the Killer are two of my favorite movies, and yes, they portray police the same way... My point is that people see these movies, think police can do things that they can't, and then curse the police for not acting.
I guess this isn't a rant against your show- once again- congrats on succeding where so many have failed- it's a general rant that fits in here- So, call me what you will- yell and scream, tell me I'm an idiot, I really don't care. And yes, before you ask, I am in Law Enforcement- I'm an Ex cop, and a current Federal Officer.

PS- Cops who handcuff in the front get their wrists broken- it happens, and its not hard to do...
