I feel it purposefully creates a divide between the bad and corrupt nazi cops and the good cop main characters and their allies who are portrayed as lovable, bumbling fools who constantly drop their gun. Basically, "yes, it is systemically bad, but these cops here, they are different, they've got a heart of gold and big sexual energy between each other."
I disagree. I think it is trying to show how "good" people enable fascism. Like the main character is totally nieve to what's going on and that means sometimes he goes after the Nazis, because he is doing his job, but he also enabled their rise by protecting the cops after they shot those communists. He is the epitome of a "good cop". Someone who just wants to fight the bad guys but he is too nieve to realize he is working with the bad guys.
