That episode is when the (then) President, Reagan was due to visit the precinct and a truce was decided, but his schedule meant he couldn't visit. The gangs thought they had been stitched up to make a truce and all Hell broke out.
The Police chief made a plea to the White House and Reagan delived a speech on closed circuit to apologise to the gangs.
The Leader of the Irish gang, The Shamrocks, was played by David Caruso (NYPD Blue, CSI Miami)

The classic episode I recall was when Renko and Bobby Hill broke into a seedy apartment/hotel room and found a guy dead, but still couldn't explain the awful smell---until they found a sheep in the bathroom, which had survived because it had a water supply.

Breaking the news to his wife later, ". . . and there was a sheep in the bathroom."

"Isn't that so like him, taking in some poor animal?"

Errmm, quite.

A stand-out series of the early 1980s which might look a little dated today, but the writing (Mrs F apart; I think she was the creator's real wife, which explains why they never got rid of the tiresome character).
