I'm sorry but when did 'I'm going to kill people' become 'helping us', Detective? Relyin' on civilians to do our jobs for us, when they can just as easily stick on a uniform, is wrong! You know why they hide behind masks? So that when they screw up, when they hurt people, they can just walk away, scott free!

You remember what it was like! When every other beat had someone taking money from whatever mobster with the readies! How are they any different, Hoffman? Who's gonna stop these guys when they go off on a power trip?

Yeah. Well, good on him. Just means he escaped somehow, don't get carried away.

The world hasn't forgotten about us, Hoffman, they're just too scared to help. [Which may not be better, but hey. More accurate.]
