Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of the most progressive shows on television that tackles some real issues in society tastefully and well. And yet, it can also be a completely goofy comedy at the same time.

One of the last episodes in season 5 hits home with Rosa stuck in an active shooter situation while the squad is unable to help and worries about her in their own ways. Jake wants to bust out the guns and be a hero by going to help her but is talked down by Holt and ends up caring for the squad who were all losing it worrying if Rosa is safe.

Showing the dangers that sometimes police officers must deal with and even in a fun a lively show like Brooklyn, they're risking their lives. Rosa is a badass for sure, but we all know she's a softy.
