Is this episode really gulity of an Broken Aesop??

The episode "Rogercop" is suppose to be conveying the message "don't be quick to point fingers", but the way it does it is highly flawed. First of all, when Chloé accuses Marinette of stealing her bracelet, Marinette starts listing motives that her classmates could've had for stealing it. Marinette's father tells her she shouldn't be making accusations like Chloé is doing, except that she wasn't; Marinette was simply trying to defend herself by saying she's no more guilty than anyone else. Then when the titular  Monster of the Day tries to arrest the mayor for abuse of power, Ladybug gives a  Meaningful Echo by saying Rogercop shouldn't be making accusations,  except he wasn't doing that, either; the mayor was clearly abusing his powers (and some that he doesn't even have) by having Roger fired for not arresting Marinette without sufficient evidence, something that took place in full view of a classroom filled with students, their parents, and the teacher. Really the only ones who made any actual accusations were Chloé and her father, who both get  Karma Houdini 's at the end of the episode.
