* WellIntentionedExtremist: ''Some'' of Alonzo's actions can be interpreted this way. Others, not so much. He's a veteran police officer with a very high success rate on closing cases and is working a staggering number of them at any one time while supervising multiple younger officers, but his methods are generally brutal and extralegal. Others, such as [[spoiler:his murder of a drug dealer friend of his so he can steal his money or putting out a hit on the main character to keep him from talking]], not so much.

But as he's climbing over a railing, Alonzo gets the drop on him and causes Jake's gun to be discharged into the local projects (the Jungle), thereby turning the confrontation into a fistfight. [[FridgeBrilliance This act was probably the final straw for the disillusioned people living on that street, considering Alonzo's history of using them for his own needs]].
