The idea that “operating outside the law” is inherently something bad is absolutely fucked mentality
if you pretend really hard and imagine there’s not governmental corruption, i think that’s where you end up at that mentality. at least that was what i was raised to believe, but we got exposed young to police corruption.
so if the enforcers of the law might be corrupt i thought, maybe the writers are too. so i did what i could to become a writer and get some of that sweet sweet corruption money, as police often have to work on their feet. turns out i was too menial a public servant to pay, dammit.

The poor man who steals his bread is “operating outside the law” but is still righteous in his actions.
Stop letting “the law” be your barometer for what is or isn’t right or just. It doesn’t belong anywhere near the discussion.
this is true, but we’re talking about a cop, an agent of the state and the law. in this case he should be held up to that standard
