There is no doubt that Rocky has received an undeserved break thanks to Antonio and Mirthala. Too bad people are more interested in someone's love life than in an official whose crimes directly reflect on his inability to do his job, of enforcing the law.
Rocky has also alienated everyone he is supposed to be working with to curb gangs, violence and crime: notably Baca and the Mayor, but also Bratton/LAPD, DA Cooley, his own top Deputies, and city public safety officials.
He calls a photo op now and then to announce he's going to combat gangs and crime, then runs and hides and does nothing.
It is his clinging to office which imperils public safety -- contrary to his lame claims to the contrary. Not one person would suffer if he left.
