[It's never been easy, holding on to his idealism in the wake of what he faces every day at his job. But that's sort of the point, is that it's not easy, but someone has to do it and it has to be someone with the fortitude to keep doing it, even when faced with choices as hard as the one Blake was apparently looking at here.
Nobody likes seeing a dead kid. But you train yourself to stick by the book when it doesn't matter so you'll still do it in the times when it does. And sometimes, sometimes you pull a Cooper and throw the book out the window, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Coop managed to find the guy who killed Laura Palmer, sure. Against all odds, dancing on the volcano, writing his own book. But Coop was the guy who stopped him from finishing her autopsy, too, and there's another kid dead because of that delay. Sentimentality got in the way of doing it right.

[The one where that bushy-tailed heroism shriveled and died. Also the case where he took up smoking. One of the senior agents had handed him a pack, said it'd make him feel better when he was looking green around the gills.
It didn't. But it covered up the stink of blood, anyway.]
