He's a bigger bum. Tony and the rest don't make a pretense of
being anything but professional criminals.
Mackey hides behind the persona of being a good, tough
cop.
There're all sorts of things that bug me about this show,
including the way the cops wear their uniforms. The badges go
on the RIGHT side. I know THE SHIELD doesn't have technical
advisors, but they shouldn't need one for such an elementary
point. Are they trying to make some sort of visual comment
about things being all turned around, or do they really not
know which side of the tunic wear police officers pin their
badges to?
