So not what I thought it would be, storywise

I seriously thought this was going to be about two odd-couplish, but best buddy national security guards who so badly wanted to be cops that they go out of their way to solve a robbery-murder. An armor car gets bumped off, the drivers, two very good decent guys killed, and our heroes, a seemingly mismatched but actually well met pair of other national security guards, Earl and Hank, set out on their mission. The police keep telling them to back off, their antics create some mayhem, but they do ultimately get results. Maybe one of the cops on the case is crooked and in with the crooks. Kind-of like Freebie and The Bean meets Security Guards. Zahn is the more laid-back, mild-mannered guy, Lawrence is unorthodoxed wisecracker, but they ultimately do solve the case and win the respect of LAPD and become cops. It's simplistic and straightforward, but it was a story I was looking forward to more than a whiney hypocrite and an uptight douchebag cleansing social divides while solving a crime.
But ultimately, it was about both of them growing up a bit, seeing things from the other perspective. Yeah, Hank was wrong to assume that Earl was braking into a car and he did try to do that choke hold, which has at times resulted very badly. However, Earl could have cut him some slack and admitted that Hank was trying to swat a bee because Earl is allergic to them. Also, Hank's thinking about law and order is somewhat too rigid, but Earl is annoying in his belief that everything that happens to him, or in society for that matter, is just another example of the white man trying to put the black man down. And Earl's attitude about interracial dating makes him a hypocrite, which is pretty well defined. Hank's aggitation at this is justified and his ex-girlfriend's retribution towards Earl is a sign to him to make some recompense, also. However, they both do seem to learn and both cool their heels. It's not the best script or buddy cop comedy I have seen by far, but I think that was a possible message in the story.
Side note: Earl's attitude about interracial dating annoyed, but most double standards annoy me because they frequently lead to stereotypes, prejudice, and hypocrisy. I know society sometimes puts up with them because we don't all have time for the bloody noses in rectifying them, but they are the proverbial burr up my butt when it comes to social issues.
