It's only a small detail in the greater scheme of things, and wouldn't even make "Top 20" in best written moments in the series, but there's a bit in the excellent "Gotham Central" which stuck with me. The squad lose a Lieutenant in the line of duty, and after solving the case are going to get a new one, as the final paperwork is done. Sarge Davies is up for it, he is the Squad Sergeant after all, and is a veteran here well liked and well loved by his colleagues. But then he is denied, and instead Mayor Hull (former Deputy Mayor, but now in the position after his predecessor was the first victim in this aforementioned case) transfers in a political appointee, a friend and buddy of his whom he promised a cushy, good job to. This is Lieutenant David Cornwell formerly of the Organised Crime Bureau, and he is not well liked immediately. They all start to call him "Cornhole", he has a moustache, he looks like a pencil pusher, he's a political appointee, none of them know him. And for the rest of the series? He's actually a fucking stand up guy, a good manager, a good LT and never engages in police brutality. I just find it kind of cute.
