typical Homicide

Homicide’ hasn’t been playing by the rules in the entire ‘detectives shot’ storyline and they don’t stop in ‘End Game’ either. Tradition suggests that the killer be found and arrested by the end of the episode. But in the great tradition of ‘Homicide’ we don’t even know if the detectives found the real shooter. Not much of a release, huh. ‘end Game’ doesn’t feature any of the usual behavior or investigation from a police shooting. The guilty man may have gotten away with a murder--- or a cop might have killed an innocent (if unsavory) man. There’s no closure here, not for the police or for the audience. And that’s how real life works too. Fontana and friends may not have liked using violence in this case but dramatically it paid off. In spades
