There was a lot of animosity between Danny and Jamie ( kiddie names not adult) and it gives reason for pause that closer to the end of that story line is that Danny is making up the reason for sending the rookie to brothers precinct . For most of the episode he is in an argumentative mood regarding Jamie and the rookie and THEN he comes up with the excuse that he sent him over so he could get the "best" training . A ruse if I ever saw one. It appears he was trying to smooth over things with his brother and trying to look like he really appreciates how his brother works. Phony on Danny's part.
The argument at the dinner goes to show that not everyone is cut out to bend the rules and skirt the law. There are not enough stripes to go out and someone has to do the patrol part . Jamie seems suited to the position, he has great customer service skills and people skills and the NYPD is lucky to have him there whereas Danny is a cowboy who breaks the rules about every episode and if this were the real world, he wouldn't have lasted past the first several episodes because he would have been given the verbal warning, written warning and Internal Affairs review by an outside agency and would have been given his walking papers. He has no people skills , is abrupt with everyone and that in itself would not last with the his peers and superiors. Danny's character is not what law enforcement agencies are looking for and is not what the real world is about .
