SWEET! I need me some Vic Mackey!

Definitey. I don’t think there’s even a contest. He’s awesome.

You’re god damned right he is.

Easy!! Yes

Hmm…what can be said about Vic Mackey? The bangers in LA don’t get any sleep at night when he is around, unless of course they have a deal in place with him. I think having TOTAL CONTROL over the streets of LA does make him THE MOST BADASS cop in history. The others could actually learn a thing or two from him.

Vic’s the MAN!!! Steven Seagal fetches his laundry, Chuck Norris washes it and Stallone folds it. Schwartzenegger irons out the wrinkles and Keifer Sutherland dresses him. Steve McQueen makes his breakfast and they all send him out the door in the morning with a sigh and a forbidden, longing look.

The question is obvious. Yes. Who are the other contenders? NYPD’s Sipowicz? L&O’s Briscoe? Please. I don’t recall them ever shooting a fellow officer in the face once they found out they were being investigated. Think of how tough it was to remind oneself of one thing during the amazing fifth season during the never-to-be-equaled face-off between Mackey and Lt. Kavanaugh: Vic was absolutely guilty of everything he was being accused of; Terry Crowly, the Money Train… his lies are perfect, and we love him for them.

Vic is the most bad ass cop around, no doubt. Then add in his charm and wits and he’s unstoppable. No one but Vic can manipulate someone into doing exactly what he wants and then by the end, have them love him and feel like they owe him for all he did for them.

Love the Shield!
