The guy had been a hero for Jake. He had respect for Holt at this time but didn't have him as a father figure. That was the guy he punched. This was a moment a lot of people go through. It's the death of who you wanted to be at the expense of some you're trying to be now and finding out they're not compatible. Jake realises that it's Holt that is the man he wants to be. Strong, compassionate, loyal.

[@nosferat-ew]

That’s a very thoughtful take!

[@tiny99990]

during my teen years I wanted to be like my father... ... then I learned some things and saw how he treated people, and realized I dont want to be anything like him at all ever... about a year later, I found out that I wanted to be like my grandfather, he is a great man... he hasn't always been, he made more than his share of mistakes, but he learned from them and bettered himself and tried to not make the same mistakes twice, he is kind compassionate, but also extraordinarily blunt and will tell you what he thinks... Him saying you are being an idiot isn't him calling you an idiot or suggesting you are, it's a warning that you are acting like an idiot and to stop because he knows it isn't true but others might not... He used to comment at how much weight I had been gaining at the time, I always took it as jabs not realizing how he spoke and what he meant, I was raised in a mentally and emotionally manipulative house both parents did it, so it's really the only way I knew of communicating and thought everyone did it. When I realized how he communicated I realized I had been wrong about him for so long, and also realized that I wanted to change how I communicated to the same way because it was just so... easy and pleasant to how I had been taught.

Some episodes are pretty preachy; one episode that comes to mind is He said, She Said from season 6. It was the one about sexual assault.

Sooooooo every single cop is homophobic. Damn just when I thought I saw the most ignorant person on the internet, you showed your face.

[@annemariebetsill3836]

“All” is a little over the top. I mean I’m a lesbian. My wife is a cop and her sergeant is a lesbian. 😅🤣 so maybe “most” is more applicable

[@kenthomas1109]

Let’s not ignore the performance of Stacy Keach, who continues to deliver, even when it’s a character with a despicable flaw.

The irony of calling someone a homo while in a men's sauna, wearing nothing but a towel.

I don’t remember this scene with Amy, but damn am I glad it happened

[@lukacunningham342]

And that is why you don’t meet your idols, kids!

i would also punch anyone who insulted my dad

[@EmptyMan000]

Good for you. Daddy raised a violent boy.

[@shoeboxbistro]

​@@EmptyMan000I wish your dad had raised a stain on his bed sheets instead of your snowflake a**. Seriously, grow a pair.

Stacy Keach is awesome here too. I was half hoping he’d launch into some of his “American Greed” narrations.

[@AlexRodriguez-eb3rs]

What episode is this

[@SpanishFly120]

There's something about watching this scene for the first time after all those years of first being introduced to Stacy Keach as "Papa Titus" in Titus that absolutely threw me for a loop.

Nice

This scene is so good because honestly I think Jake would have been upset and done something about the homophobic comment anyways, because he a genuinely good guy- but in the context of his and Holt’s growing relationship, his past of looking up to the person who said it, and his shift to start looking up to and at Holt now in the present, this scene is just so much more meaningful. Jake would have punched the guy anyways for the comment, but if it wasn’t holt he was punching the guy for, he would have told the person. He chose to hide it from holt because he cared about holt, and wanted to take holts anger, not be praised for doing what is probably the obviously right thing in his mind. He didn’t need praise. He didn’t want it. And I think that shows some character growth, that Jake never told holt himself; he put his own pride aside

When you write gay CHARACTER instead of GAY character. Also R.I.P the 🐐

[@jasonguzman564]

Ken titus as his best as always

this one is ribbed for her pleasure.... the first time maybe but after that don't waste the extra quarter.

As we all know, police inflicting physical violence on those who disagree with them is a good thing

[@bushmaori]

if theyre bigots then yes, agreed

[@Firebringer121]

I like in the framing of this clip Dieze gets the credit for homophobe punching

[@Toehead-z9p]

I liked how they addressed social issues in the earlier seasons but season 8 was too hammy with it.

[@Ktakahashi18]

I really need to watch this show 😂
