* {{Deconstruction}}: The concept of the Nine-Nine being a progressive precinct is hit ''badly'' with this. Jake and the squad have assumed that a forced transfer or resignation is a TenMinuteRetirement, as in a previous episode he and Amy [[ItMakesSenseInContext tied him to a bed to shout some sense into him about potential retirement]]. That doesn't happen with Rosa; she points out that Jake means well, but a squad of idealistic cops can't take down the ordinary monsters in the system that covers up their misdeeds. Jake is chagrined to find out that Rosa is right when their attempts to take down two cops result in a superior deleting the evidence and claiming she's a "good cop," something Jake claimed earlier. Going to social media isn't an option either; that could lead to more protests, and cops cracking down on peaceful demonstrators, making things worse. In the end, Jake concedes to Rosa that the system is broken and she has every right to leave. Which she does, permanently.
