Five-0 loves the people of his City, Country, SF and dogs.
Pete is an American hero whether he will admit it or not.
The line that separates their titles is not the line that separates their potential to contribute positively to this Country. We may not all feel like "Brothers", in the same way we do with those we work with, but it is still Team America.

If people are mad at the corruption of Gov. they can't only be mad at "the other side" and it's supporters. That is a barrier to breaking the "divide and conquer" of our people by turning "us vs them" into "America vs America".
It will inevitably involve very difficult admissions relating to the role they play in their job. There is an inherent self-preservation, safety, efficiency and loyalty motivation that makes this a difficult "case by case" issue. (ETA: not talking about wikileaks)
Prayers for all who seek justice for the US.
