[[folder:Alonzo]]
!!Detective Alonzo Harris
->'''Played By:''' Creator/DenzelWashington

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: It's hard to feel sorry for him even as he barely clings to life before being finished off by the Russian mobsters sent to kill him.]]
* BadBoss: Between holding a gun to Jake's head, forcing him to smoke marijuana laced with PCP and leaving him at the home of several gangbangers to have him killed? More than counts.
* BigBad
* BreakTheHaughty: Loses his smug confidence after [[spoiler: being shot in the ass by Jake]] and realizing how serious he is.
%%* TheChessmaster
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He endlessly manipulates and betrays others based on what benefits him.
* CoolCar: His 1979 Chevy Monte Carlo, complete with hydraulics. It's sexy.
* CowboyCop: Tends to favor street justice rather than criminal justice when he actually does dispense it.
* DirtyCop: Alonzo is more gangster than cop.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Alonzo may be jerk, but he draws the line at rapists.
* EvilMentor: At least until Jake rejects his method of mentoring.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Alonzo Harris might just be the poster boy. He's intelligent, charismatic, magnetic and can turn on the charm like few others. Even when he acts like a jerk and commits violent acts, he has a way of spinning them so it seems like he's just a realist who is ultimately on the side of good. The truth is that he's a savage killer who cares only for himself.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Alonzo has made himself pretty valuable to his fellow cops and the gangbangers on the street through virtue of his own power and cunning, but none of them like him at all. This eventually comes back to bite him in the ass.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Oh, absolutely. The writer himself described Alonzo as not a dirty cop in the traditional sense, but rather someone who has essentially gotten too good at his job.
* IOwnThisTown: At least, until the finale.
* ItsAllAboutMe: In the end, Alonzo's first priority is himself.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:His cold-blooded murder of Roger.]]
%%* LargeHam
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He's gunned down by TheMafiya as a direct result of his temper, but even before that his actions catch up with him when the gangbangers he manipulates turn on him.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: In spades. Harris manipulates everyone with his charisma and intelligence, but eventually he can't keep it going.
%%* RabidCop
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He works for the Three Wise Men, high-ranking corrupt cops who begrudgingly protect Alonzo.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Being a raging egotist, Alonzo considers himself a king on the street where he's outside culpability for his actions.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Half of his actions are interpreted by Jake as this.
* ShotInTheAss: [[spoiler:By Jake.]]
* SinkOrSwimMentor: [[spoiler:Alonzo Harris is a deconstruction of this trope. He might seem like a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who's trying to prepare Jake for the dog-eat-dog reality of policing the street, but the reality is that he's just trying to corrupt him. When that doesn't work, he easily discards him and reveals the depth of his own depravity.]]
* ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld: He gives this speeches out to Jake like candy.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:The Russian Mafia shoot Alonzo roughly a million times.]]
* TrainingFromHell: He holds a gun to Jake's head, drags him into dangerous situations, tricks him into smoking PCP-laced marijuana...on his first day.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Alonzo has an absolutely epic breakdown when Jake finally bests him. He stops all pretence of being an tough-but-fair mentor and realist, and winds up ranting at the neighbourhood he controlled about how ungrateful they are. He's practically frothing at the mouth.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He frequently tries to push this as his motivation, but the reality is that he's more [[ItsAllAboutMe self-serving]] than well-intentioned.
* YourCheatingHeart: Alonzo is married with four kids, but has another child with his mistress Sara. He implies that he has other women around town.
