Dirty Cop: Difference between revisions
→Western Animation
Line 210:
* Chief Clancy Wiggum and the Springfield police in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' are sometimes shown to be corrupt as well as incompetent.
** Wiggum's badge has "Cash Bribes Only" written on it.
* ''[[South Park]]'' has ''no'' honest cops, but two of them stand out:
** Picture Chief Wiggum but make him even dumber and take away any good qualities and you have Officer Barbrady. How this idiot ever became a police officer is anyone’s guess, as he commits far more crimes than he prevents. For example, in “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe”, he tries to cover up the crisis (which involves cows being brutally killed) and when protesters refuse to leave, he threatens to shoot them execution-style. He’s committed at least two murders [[Would Hurt A Child| (one of them a child)]] and has admitted to, uhm, [[A Date With Rosie Palms| pleasuring himself]] while watching ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' on duty. Despite this, however, Barbary is ''not'' the dirtiest cop in South Park, which brings us to…
** Sergeant Harrison Yates. There’s no way to sugarcoat this, Yates is a bigot and an asshole, possibly even worse than [[Villain Protagonist| Cartman]] in both regards, and a contender for the title of Worst Police Officer in Cartoon History. He is a gullible, stupid, lazy, racist, misogynistic, hateful extremist. Among the worst things he’s done include orchestrating a string of hate crimes and then framing innocent African-Americans for them, because he was annoyed that they were richer than he was (“The Jeffersons”) and claims that his biggest reason for even becoming a cop was because he wanted to beat up minorities without being viewed as a monster. (“Naughty Ninjas”) He once went undercover as an - [[Paper-Thin Disguise| unconvincing]] - [[Dirty Harriet]] and actually performed the sexual acts requested of him, then arrested the men he provided them too. (Even [[Even Evil Has Standards| the rest of the police force was disgusted about this]].) In plots where he isn't the villain of the story, he's downright terrible at uncovering whoever is; in one episode he writes off the multiple murders committed by ManBearPig as “school shootings” [[Bad Liar| (the murders did not occur at a school and were not gun related)]] and pins it on the main cast, simply because he wants to go home and play ''[[Red Dead Redemption|Red Dead Redemption 2]].
* [[Axe Cop]]. Whether he's actually a real police officer or not is debatable, but he has [[Judge, Jury, and Executioner|has methods of dispersing justice]] that few actual police would approve of. [[Crazy Awesome|Not that this is entirely a bad thing.]]
