* HeWhoFightsMonsters: By the time the show begins, it\\\'s pretty clear that whatever morality most of the Baltimore police have is all but dead.
The trope does not apply, for one the police are useless, corrupt and there are some rabid ones, but the trope requires becoming what you fight, and the police don\\\'t go around killing people in the corners. They may hate and rough up the criminals, but they are not comparable to them, i.e. monsters. We see a number of detectives who show restraint and respect for the law.
The useless etc stuff is well covered by other tropes already (bad cop, incompetent cop...)
Alternatively the trope, a revenge trope at that, is not used, the audience is not told the police were once a corps of pure white knights.
[=McNulty=] may apply, we see his journey to delinquent, downplayed, arguable example because you can tell he is a one time example of IDidWhatIHadToDo, the rest of the time it\\\'s CowboyCop stuff, nothing extraordinaire. Becoming is the word here, Carcetti undergoes CorruptTheCutie, so another borderline example. (I wouldn\\\'t write it due to examples are not arguable policy)
From trope description:
\\\"His obsession with meting out due punishment or worse twists him into a monster just as bad as, or even worse than, the one he\\\'s hunting.\\\"
As an aside, wiki policy encourages examples being specific, as in written examples for characters rather than groups and broad statements, otherwise it\\\'s an ellaborated form of bad context. I saw other editor taking exception from it, a bit harshly.
