** Another thing to consider is that relations between the police and both the public and the press are not that great, and moreso in the black communities, in light of recent controversial police-on-black violence (Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, and the aggressive crackdowns that ensued after Diamondback killed Officer Albini). For the most part, Harlemites respect and trust Luke more than the cops, and that makes the NYPD look bad. Not to mention, to that 98% of the NYPD that who aren't in the Luke Cage fan club, Luke is an ex-convict that's been mixed up in the deaths of two police officers (Scarfe and Albini), the maiming of a decorated detective (Misty), and the destruction of a Midtown skyscraper. While that's not Luke's fault, you can't blame the police for feeling like Luke operates above the law and flaunts it. It doesn't help the NYPD that in addition to the deteriorated relationships with the black community, their public image has also been severely tarnished thanks to several major police corruption scandals: just a few years ago, it was exposed that a significant number of cops in the 15th precinct were in the pocket of Wilson Fisk, and barely a year later it came to light that a number of cops in the 29th were on Cottonmouth's payroll. Couple that with their failures in stopping the Punisher and a bunch of other internal scandals. To see Luke get taken down a notch, in their minds, heals some of their wounded pride despite their misplaced anger.

** Shades thought Luke was dead and it wouldn't have been hard for him to have assumed that Luke died from the beating he was given. He probably wasn't wanted until someone recognized him and realize he didn't die in an explosion.
