Stupidity: I seriously doubt that any Mexican Mafia cartel operating here in the U.S. would waste their time eliminating two simple patrol officers. There's nothing to gain by doing so, and it would bring a war between themselves and the police, which in return would bring hundreds of arrests of key members, drug busts, raids of their operations within Southern Cali, etc. They wouldn't risk their business taking millions of loss of revenue all to kill two patrol beat cops.

Factual error: Very early in the movie, in the locker room shot, one of the officers begins to show off his gear to the camera. One of the items he boasts is a "Spyderco tactical knife." The knife is actually a Smith & Wesson first response assisted opening knife, model SW911B. (00:04:45)
