Cops kind of embody the best and worst of us. I mean, they are as brutal as you see in the Rodney King case. And they are as good as the guy who sees somebody in distress and takes care of them, takes them to a hospital, is a father in a moment of need. Some of the most remarkable guys I've come across have been cops, and some I could just pin against the wall with their sexism and racism and reactionary attitudes. Yet there's a visceral quality to their lives that's fascinating.

Pioneered the "loose camera" look, used constantly during the first 2 seasons of NYPD Blue (1993) and then reduced by half after that due to its causing distraction from the storyline - as well as potential viewer problems similar to one reading a book while riding in a moving vehicle. This technique has recently been revived, however, on the big screen, in the 2007 release, The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).
