What he did is legally considered rape in the modern day. While it's one thing to point out that he hadn't committed any crime according to the law at the time, calling a rapist sympathetic because his actions weren't illegal *yet* is another thing entirely and actually quite offensive.


** John Stamos's character Ken Turner in "Bang". He's a skeezy slimeball who uses his charms and good looks to impregnate women (a "reproductive abuser") before abandoning them after the kids are born, with at least ''twenty'' children fathered by him in the state of New York alone and ''forty-seven'' in the U.S. ''and'' Europe by his own count. But...being a sick bastard who fathers children left and right doesn't mean he's broken any laws. All the sex was consensual. No matter how the detectives fume and stomp their feet about what he's doing, he's not breaking any laws, and being a hounddog of a man isn't enough to put someone in jail for. Nor is it enough to ''kill'' over, as he's murdered in horrific fashion, with air injected into his chest through a knife that causes it to explode, all for the "crime" of just being a gross person.

** The season 25 episode "Truth Embargo" has a flash mob somehow get past security, break into the offices and everyone just lets them steal documents and equipment, and the one officer who attempts to stop them is ordered to stand down.

** After Sister Peg was written out of the series by being [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]], the eventually introduced Reverend Curtis as another religious figure and champion of the oppressed. Unfortunately his generally unhelpful attitude to the detectives, tendency to focus on the social aspects of issues regardless of the context and willingness to slander people to the media in order to further his personal agenda has not endeared him to many viewers. An often cited example was his willingness to overlook a mayoral candidate soliciting explicit images from a teenage girl because said candidate shared his opinions regarding the need for social reform. This made him come across as a WellIntentionedExtremist at best and a self-righteous {{Hypocrite}} at worst.
