bullet bullet I call the coroner’s

Doe I want a private ambulance unmarked

attitude
let’s bullet make justice in a world
where even the good guys aren’t so good
anything I can do for you is something

ability to handle any situation

number eight detective lieutenant
Commissioner James Gordon the Dark
Knight trilogy a boy looks good on the
tube you sure you want to embarrass me
in front of my friends lieutenant no
don’t worry they’re coming to the clean
cop in a dirty town can be a cliche but
with Batman’s buddy James Gordon you
totally buy it
Gordon’s jaded but deep down he can’t
help believing in the ultimate goodness
of people
I never said thank you

clever and resourceful he’s smart enough
to let his Stern sense of justice Bend
when the vigilante Batman appears it’s a
compromise but if it saves the soul of a

Detective Jimmy Popeye Doyle the French
Connection all right pop eyes here

omelet for Popeye Doyle you gotta break
a few rules to collar the criminals
rough and single-minded don’t lows there
isn’t always enough time to play by the
book I want to question this cop won’t
win a lot of Congeniality contests he
can be gruff disrespects authority and
isn’t always broad-minded but he’s a
hell of a cop you shot mommy
sumbitch is here I saw it I’m gonna get
him number six
lieutenant Vincent Hanna Heat look like
gangbangers working the local 7-eleven
for ex-marine Vincent Hanna being a
policeman isn’t a job it’s an obsession
so they had no time because they were on
a clock which means they knew our
response time to a 211 had our air
immobilized it entered escaped and under
three minutes his personal life suffers
but that dog with a bone tenacity is
what makes Hanna a success
you know Gemma go ahead what
us his personal isolation hones henna
skills and instincts in fact he’s able
to track his adversary because they’re
two sides of the same coin and Hannah
knows just how to play that to his
advantage if it’s between you and some
poor bastard whose wife you’re gonna
turn into a widow brother you are going
down number five Robocop the Robocop
series shit this guy is really good he’s
not a guy he’s a sheep being murdered
and brought back to life as a cyborg has
its drawbacks but it does make you one
awesome cop with state-of-the-art
technology armor and weapons officer
Alex Murphy otherwise known as Robocop
is a virtually unstoppable
crime-fighting machine
thank you for not smoking this dude is a
match for anything villains can throw at
him except for a secret programming
glitch that keeps him from attacking his
makers you better take me in I will
number four Detective Sergeant Captain
Martin Riggs the lethal weapon series
he’s a nutcase whose hands are lethal
weapons pun intended
can go crazy here have you called me
crazy easily go crazy
yeah you want to see crazy okay and
whose skills with a firearm make him
even more deadly with his partner Roger
Murtaugh at his side Riggs gives new
meaning to the word reckless but his
unpredictability is his advantage
add in his stealth and proceptivity and
you have a cop it can’t be beat
number three detective Axel Foley the
Beverly Hills Cop series no look I say
slow for you look I need five that
$5,000 read my lips
$5,000 is what I need this is bullshit
here I can’t do none with that even
without Eddie Murphy’s comic brilliance
bullies street smart con men Act would
have made an impression
a genuine fish out of water in the cop
world axel is a loose cannon who knows
how to read people and when to put on
the brakes
what’s happened to you detective Foley
is you got yourself in the middle of a
federal investigation
where’s this income tax defying the
truck just shouted to try police officer
he may act a little crazed but he’s far
from crazy and that gets the job done

Frank Serpico Serpico hey Frank you want
a piece of this I wanna fill out the
arrest Clause when real life policeman

on the rampant police corruption he
encounters things get nasty for him
Serpico’s quick trigger temper and
self-righteousness don’t help matters
either every time I talk to you black 20
more people know about it you know that
rackets safe it’s safe with my ass on
the line it’s safe rights for you fella
your ass is already on us all right
he becomes an outcast which ironically
Eights his police work as an undercover
cop among counterculture types
ultimately Serpico’s commitment to
morality gets results
but he’s too committed to pure justice
to stay on the force in order to ensure
this an independent permanent
investigative body dealing with police
corruption like this commission
is essential number one
detective detective lieutenant John
McClane the Die Hard series you became
McClane can survive massive explosions
fires and anything else that’s thrown at
him sure he’s lucky but he’s also an
experienced cop with an instinct for
when to push and when to fall back
librarian I had a penny but she didn’t
believe you I really do have a bad
headache though I have a very bad
headache that my head is not always
ready with a wisecrack McLain is a hero
