A kid comes up to an officer and asks what would happen if he hypothetically killed a cat, but it’s pretty clear the cat is not hypocritical. This isn’t really addressed or mentioned again and it’s quickly overshadowed by a medical emergency.

A woman is pulled over for running a stop sign but she’s rushing her dog to the vet because he ate macadamia nuts. The dog seems fine and there’s no inclination that he will die. After she’s given her ticket, the officer mentions that the dog would have had to eat a massive quantity of nuts in order to suffer any ill effects.

S2E06, detective Harper sees a dog eating a corpse and the dog chases her. I don't know exactly what happens cause I didn't watch the entire thing, but it was a brief scene. If you want to skip this scene, stop watching when Harper answers a phone call. Later on the same episode, Harper is waiting for backup and uses pepper spray on the dog. It gets scared and runs away for a moment, and Harper closes the door, trapping the dog inside the building.

There is a gnarly animal head in the beginning when Nolan is looking through the trash. It’s only shown briefly and it’s mentioned to be a goat. I thought it was some kind of fish head at first and when I learned it was goat it was a little more upsetting.

A man is arrested and taken into custody in front of his son. The officers do their best to protect the kid and make the situation as non-traumatic as possible but it is a pretty emotional and upsetting scene. The man is desperate to stay with his son. It is mentioned that the child will be placed in CPS custody and then hopefully reunited with a family member. Luckily, the father is bailed out of jail and is said to have been able to go home to his son again.

I’m not sure if it counts as actual gaslighting, but an officer is being sued by a civilian on false claims of assault and even when the cop’s body camera footage vindicates him, the judge and the plaintiff’s attorney basically deny reality and continue entertaining the case. The judge is unbelievably unprofessional and it was uncomfortable to watch for me. Also, one of the rookies learns that his cop father used to “bend the rules” back in the day, which is the total opposite of the behavior he has shown his son. The father is in Internal Affairs and investigates dirty cops on a regular basis, so his son learning about his potentially shady past is a huge shock, especially considering how much pressure he put on his son to go by the book and never make any mistakes. The son has felt he has to live up to his father’s expectations and basically continue on his legacy as an outstanding cop, which turns out to be a sham. The father never told his son about his mistakes so the son has felt like he must be perfect 100% of the time like he thought his dad was.

A man hangs himself in an industrial warehouse at around the 38/39 minute mark in s2e2. You don't see anything above the ankles- shown bellow a large machine I belive-after it happens. You do see the wire cable he uses pull tight against the roof support, though. The camera pans back to his feet again a little later

No but a serial killer attacks multiple people by hitting them in the head. When an officer is in pursuit of him, he overpowers her and smashes her head at least twice into a concrete wall. The sound effects made it seem pretty gruesome but she was somehow able to basically walk it off.

At the start of the first episode of the second season, we see a couple of police cars escorting an ambulance carrying Tim Bradford. After a few moments they show us inside of the ambulance, where they're giving Officer Bradford emergency care, and he then starts to seize as he goes into anaphylaxic shock. The camera cuts away after a second, though.

No, but an officer is having a dream in the beginning of the episode where she keeps seeing a very creepy guy wearing a gas mask. Her training officer does not see the man but she does so she follows him into the woods. When she catches up to him she tells him to remove the mask and as he does, light starts beaming out of his face and she quickly wakes up to fellow officers taking pictures of her while she was napping on shift. This scene was very creepy and I was expecting a jumpscare but there wasn’t one. This strange guy in the mask isn’t a ghost per se but it was weird enough that I decided to put it here.

When Nolan is guarding a witness in the safe house, he looks out the window and the witness knocks him over the head with a lamp. This was a major jumpscare for me. Later, Lopez and West are in Bel Air and they are approaching a house on foot when suddenly a man comes into the doorway with a machine gun and starts shooting at them. There’s no real warning for this so it startled me.

Not directly but when a meth addict is taken out of the backseat of the cop car to be put into custody an officer looks in the backseat and recoils in disgust. Nothing is shown and this is momentary but the rookies are told in the previous episode to check the backseat after someone has been back there for various things including bodily fluids.

[ S1E11 ] Chen gets stuck with a used hypodermic needle and has to undergo tests to check for infections. She is cleared for viral infections but is put on intravenous antibiotics for a staph infection. In the same episode, Chen stops a woman from using a syringe to try to euthanize her brother, but it does show the needle in the guy's neck and there's a pretty tense standoff.

An officer who was recently shot puts himself in a situation where he ends up encouraging a gang initiate to fight him in order to “get a felony”. He does this while dealing with the trauma of his estranged wife’s addiction and he’s angry and impulsive. Because his wound is not completely healed, he ends up being further injured during the fight but does end up okay.

A woman breaks into a clinic and steals the embryos belonging to her ex wife. She wants to destroy them to get revenge on her ex wife for cheating on her. She holds the vials up in the air and is threatening to smash them but an officer manages to talk her down. The ex wife is extremely distraught because she really wants to have a baby and she says that this is her last chance. No fetuses but I figured embryos were included here.

No but a black rookie is sent into a convenience store under the illusion of getting snacks/taking a bathroom break but he encounters a perp that they’ve been looking for who is a neo-nazi and the 2 get into a fight. The nazi overpowers the coo several times and seems like he has every intention of killing him, but the cop eventually gets the upper hand. This scene made me really uncomfortable because his training officer knew that the nazi would be at the location and didn’t tell the rookie so he was taken by surprise and the training officer just stayed in the car the whole time. It was essentially retribution for him freezing up during a shootout in the previous episode and leaving her vulnerable. Again, this was hugely inappropriate to me because the training officer’s reckless and dangerous behavior isn’t mentioned again or treated as unacceptable. She basically sent a black person to be potentially murdered by a nazi.

A man is in the hospital who was diagnosed with dementia and is there because he was attacked. It’s later revealed that the injuries were received while the woman he attempted to abduct fought him off and escaped, and that he is a serial killer. His dementia diagnosis is suspected to be the reason he went dormant for several years.

[ S01E20 ] This episode is pretty gory, the team is trying to stop a terror attack that involves spreading hemorrhagic fever. One victim dies bloody and multiple graphic photos are shown during a briefing as well.
