I mean let’s honest here, the other side of the story is that it took a cop that idolizes a vigilante that operates outside the law to actually do anything. Still an indictment of the whole operation.
Or that he had someone who was in danger that made it personal for him. I may be an asshole, but curious if he would have done anything if his wife wasn’t in there
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.
That said, having his fellow cops prevent him from saving his wife’s life might give him a better understanding of Punisher. I wonder how he feels about cops now

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

Great point
I will say though, it would be cool if this guy actually knew who Punisher actually is instead of just grabbing the logo like the rest do.
Edit: I hate autocorrect so goddamn much. I swear to god it got worse since AI got popular.
If he did, he wouldn’t be a cop in the first place.
Cops who are fans of the Punisher have absolutely zero media literacy.
