[QUOTE="Twowolves, post: 3394937, member: 18093"] Maybe you should go back and pay a little closer attention to Aceveda and what he has done. He arranged for the guy who molested him to get killed in prison. Let me make that explicitly clear to you: he worked a deal with the absolute worst crime lord in Farmington to kill a guy who had some dirt on Aceveda. This guy who buys and sells cops is behind bars only because Vic outsmarted him, and Aceveda is getting him deals with the feds to get him out of jail, just to kill the guy who molested him. Sound any nicer a guy than Vic yet? And this is all AFTER Aceveda shot and killed the other witness to his humiliation. Oh, and after he cheated on his wife with a hooker that let him beat her. Maybe you should spend less time assuming what I know and what I don't, and more time actually watching the show. The only drug dealers he lets operate are the ones who are informants for him, ones he can control. Which means A) no selling to kids and B) no harrassing the locals. And as far as I can tell, all the truely "innocent" people on the streets love Vic and the work he does. He is not for sale, or maybe you missed the episode where he made that abundantly clear? Were he just another dirty cop, he'd be for sale to the highest bidder. In season 4, when the Strike Team is back on the streets, he goes and picks out a drug dealer to intimidate into being his informant. Not to shake down for money, but to get him plugged back in to the word on the street. First of all, I wouldn't ever BE in his crosshairs. He has never framed someone who wasn't already guilty of [I]something[/I]. I keep my nose clean, I don't get involved in that world, I wouldn't even be a blip on Vic's radar. Patrol units are for keeping the gangs off the street corners, the Strike Team is for busting the big bosses that enable it to happen. If Vic were the vile monster you claim he is, there wouldn't be a show. No one would watch a show about that. If Vic were squeaky clean, no one would watch a show about that either. He is dirty, but still tries to do what he thinks is right. If he were as bad as some in this thread make him out to be, why are the viewers pulling for him more times than they are booing him?
