So as an outsider, it seemed normal rather than atypical. Personally I feel shows like Grimm and movies like Dirty Harry have denigrated the culture surrounding the law enforcement profession.

Hi Izzy.
You are almost 100% about what I wanted to say.
In simple words I wanted to say that in places where the legal system (laws, justice system, police force, politicians, and so on) is not trustable a cop that doesn’t follow the rules of the system is view as the hero since following the rules means to obey a corrupted system.
Let’s take Nick as example. He killed Kenneath and some arguments in his side is that Kenneath wouldn’t be sent to legal system because he was royal. That means the system wasn’t able to deal with and Nick had to deal with him outside the law. The full idea behind Nick actions against wesen is based on that: the system is not able to deal with wesen then Nick needs to deal with it outside the system.
I think that Nick (a corrupt cop) being the main hero of the show means that the system is not trustable then the cop (in this cases, Nick) must act outside the system.
Now… Think about it… Nick is the hero corrupted cop that will have to fight against the main evil of the show, Sean Renard… the elected mayor … wich means an official member of the system… And Sean was elected to corrupt the system from inside.
