Confused about the Dentist storyline

I'm doing my no big guns / no Irish run after finishing several plays of Dispatch (similar gameplay, even uses some art assets for calls)

Kept first clue to myself, got caught, got a scolding and then nothing. Didn't respond to any Dentist calls needing swat (soo basically all).

A month later, City Hall cuts my salary and 40% of my staff.

So naturally I save scum. Go all the way back to Jack's makeover. This time, I give evidence to feds and the game actively mocks me for this?! ("Jack is a big boy, he can catch the Dentist on his own...")

Police are losing respect for Jack because I'm ignoring calls, but I can't answer those calls as they require swat (my detectives are working on bringing Sands down anyway)

Sorry rant over. But it's like the game is punishing you for going after a damn trophy. What the fuck
