Thanks, FaceInTheCrowd. That's a good honest answer.

I agree because questions are often posed out of curiosity. But you and I know that when Nick is being discussed, curiosity isn't the reason why the question's being posed.

So it’s reasonable to assume they made the Grimm character a detective to satisfy those who had the power to air or not air their show, but weren’t interested in exploring the conflicts in a Grimm/law enforcement combination.As with everything these two state, I read it with skepticism and wonder exactly when they released this gem of information and why. The prudent thing would have been to shut up and let everyone think it was their idea.

I could see where the theory behind Grimm may have been to make Nick into an unethical cop. As such, he's a fit for the continuing story of one grimm versus the wesen. He has access to all kinds of criminal element and technology as a cop and has the blessing of a boss and coworkers to keep that strong. He has grimm technology in the form of the scoobies, his weapons and his diaries, not to mention the Airstream. He can then pick and choose his own battles, which is essentially what he did. It still comes down to people of no ethics and little morals versus other people of no ethics and little morals.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
