>Vic has the best arrest record and general results of any cop in the entire show
>Only achieves this via crossing the line
is the Shield arguing in favor of cops like Vic? It definitely implies that sometimes rules have to be broken to achieve whats right.

how long does the dude in the back from homicide last?
The arrests were... wrongful?
legally speaking yes but the show doesnt make their crimes ambiguous it shows bad guys doing heinous crimes and then Vic doing whatever silly corrupt shit he needs to to get them arrested, I watched S5 ep yesterday and it was hilarious the mexican shooter guy takes off on this kid sized motorcycle and then drives a block just to steal another dudes car and take off while Vic comendeers a construction dudes truck and straight up drives straight into the mexicans car causing a huge crash on the side of the road
the arrests were technically wrongful, but they were still the right thing to do because the perps were criminals regardless
the point is the vic mackey was on the ground and knew the best way to uphold the law, and police the city far far better than some ivory tower nerd lawyers who actually wrote the law
this is what the shows message genuinely seems like, even him going for the gun at the end of the show is a heroic scene, one of the worst thing he did turn on Ronnie was a genuine back against the wall decision that Vic felt horrible for
Vic is not a villian mate. He is a hero. And a legend. And the best character ever displayed in film or tv
It doesn't spoonfeed you any answer, something foreign to today's media that touches on politics.
My dad was an lapd officer from 81 to 2001 and he has such wild stories. I feel criminals dont do cool shit anymore like they used too.
Wanna share a couple?
During the riots in 92, him and hispanic cops wouls drive at night in normal cars shooting night rioters with rubber bullets, tear gas and those flash bangs from the back of the car around in pitch black. He also said that the official death count of the riots at 63 was probably like 200 to 300 people just took advantage and it wasnt counted. He also worked security for bands at the time. Guns and roses, hip hop, janes addiction,nirvana when they came. Said he got invited to a guns and roses party but declined. During the satanic panic he said that there was killings done by actually satanists but it would just be written up as a homicidal stabbing, like a womans heart being cut out would just be a random homicide nothing apecial
Another story he told me my mom backs up is in may? Of 1990 at the madonna tour in LA he got into a fist fight with madonnas security at s club after police got called and shoved her down. Nothing came about it at all. He worked in north Hollywood btw
post a crazy story for us anons
his arrest record comes from his dealer friends rivals, plus the dealer feeds him low level guys to make him look good
he regularly catches pedophiles, breaks child sex rings, gets murderers at the same rate as Dutch, even finishes Dutch's cases sometimes, even if he buffers his stats he still gets a significant comparative amount
They did more harm than people they put behind bars
im rewatching the series as we speak up to S5 so far and I truly dont think the show demonstrates that at all, the one thing in 5 seasons Vic did that was a true crime was kill Terry, everything else helped him solve bigger crimes and put worse people in jail
No, they did not
There's no moment where Vic truly victimizes anyone
The fact that he's an evil motherfricker and he somehow consistently finds people way worse than himself to manipulate and brutalize really makes him come off as heroic
If they wanted him to be morally questionable they'd have to insert a plot point where he fricks over someone totally sympathetic and innocent like Walter White with Brock
what did terry do wrong exactly?
He was a snitch
how many snitches did vic have as CIs?
None that were going to snitch on him
you know who else wouldn't snitch?
ronnie and lem
so did vic
not as a fed informant snitch for LAPD cops keeping the peace. terry had it coming
>lem
Tell that to Shane, he killed him on his own.
>ronnie
He just got caught in the crossfire, Vic was trying to save his family
worked for the feds
he blackmailed julian
when he cucked kavanaugh, wasn't there a thing that his ex had mental issues?
you're overthinking it
most of the show is just vic relying on plot armour and digging himself a little more deeper
dutch and claudette are pretty effective while still being moral, always felt it was implied that dutch was going to end up being another billings
Congratulations you figured out the obvious point of the show
