While The Shieldhas a lot of memorable quotes, the best line in the series comes from Walton Goggins’ Shane Vendrell in the finale, and it is a quote that defines the entire ethos of the show. There are parts of policing that television, as an institution, has always shied away from depicting. Police procedurals typically portray the cops as heroes chasing villains, so these shows tend to downplay police brutality, evidence tampering, abusive interrogation practices, and civil asset forfeiture.
