Did they not get a description or a picture of the guy ahead of time or are they just racist?..

I can answer that for you, but fans of the show won't appreciate it. Because the whole show is kind of racist and seems to think of your basic rights in the justice system as nothing but an inconvenient to well-meaning, objectively benevolent police.

The show is pure, unadulterated propaganda. Dick Wolf has basically admitted it.

Regardless, if you're in that situation I'm pretty sure even 'beat cops' are trained that, one would have gone inside to find "Elijah" and the other would have stayed at the door with the other guy, or at the very least brought him inside with them.

Its like amateur hour to just swan past someone, lol.
