[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 3391622, member: 22622"] I'm going to step on that thin limb and say none. The shield is the perfect example of how alignment doesnt work and is a silly concept. There are too many variables. Vick is good to those he likes and the law. Heck, how many CIs hashe put his neck out for. How far will he go to keep the streets clean. How many episodes have we seen where vick has taken up a personal cause against someone who "killed a cop, killed a kid, raped a little girl, messed with his family". If he was evil he probably wouldn't care. Also, vick won't kill someone unless its his last resort. Remember during the money train where he could have easily killed the guy they blamed it on and had him disappear. Well, he didnt do it and it costed him. Vick is evil to those whom oppose him. Drug dealers, fellow cops, administrators. Vick has killed a number of people and hurt many more. Vick is lawful when it comes to his own rules. HE follows them. He doesnt let drug dealers deal to kids. They have to follow his personal zoning. HE doesnt makes sure the street gangs follow his rules. He follows the law to a tee and makes sure he knows exactly how much to do to stay within the boundaries of the law. How many times has he stopped shane from going too far or stopped himself. The only time i can think he went to far is burning old dudes face. Even the shooting in the first episode was seen as lawful. Among cops, as far as the mythos of teh show, you don't rat on another cop. The only thing I'd say vick isn't is chaotic. He pretty much always seems in control, though there are times where he's lost it. [/QUOTE]
