"Elite units" are always resented by "regular units" no matter where you go. I don't myself consider Viper elite, but it's nice to see at least a little proactive detective work going on somewhere. You don't automatically get rid of a unit because of a few people having problems. The biggest problem with LMPD is many people have forgotten how to proactively police and really think that answering calls is all the need to do. That's because RCW neutered the department from his first day as Chief and got rid of those units who were stirring up anger among the activists. Viper is a band aid on that problem. Most of the department needs to be re-trained to bring the department out of its 1965 policing strategy. The "grizzled veterans" who resent that statement need that re-training the most, so somebody should drop off the training materials next to all the gas station coffee pots.
