However, as mostly seen in the series, they are portrayed negatively due to their unrealistic and abusive actions by abusing their own power as their way to wipeout criminals all over the country and to promote peace, producing more criminals as a product of their abuse. Some also work involving shady deals as their side job, even the commanders of the force have connections with Drug sellers. Honest and principled members are rarely seen in the series, in contrast to their policies.

Most of them also violates protocols followed during operations. They are also portrayed to be greedy, power-hungry, and merciless as it was shown even their alliance they’ll sacrifice them just to obtain higher positions and power.
