But, the show handled Hank’s and Wu’s initiation into the Grimm/Wesen world the same way - place each in a sufficiently emotionally distraught situation so he's relieved to learn he's not insane and there’s a method in place to deal with these bizarre/dangerous creatures.
So, now I can conclude by taking Izzy's word, since he has all the great inside knowledge, that the boys in blue are the ones tarnishing their own image because it's definately not Grimm doing it for them. So, they basically shelter the criminals amongst themselves. They don't go after them or give them up as long as the officers in question do not commit murders (it's ok to commit all other kinds of criminal acts though). The rest look the other way but just don't hang out with them so they don't tarnish their individual images?...
I can understand how their experiences propelled them to jump in head first. But it’s just another example of G & K placing expediency over character and story evolution.
