The TV series
Captain David Acevada: It doesn't bother you, the things he does?
Detective Claudette Wyms: I don't judge other cops.
Captain David Acevada: Mackey's not a cop. He's Al Capone with a badge.
Detective Claudette Wyms: Al Capone made his money by giving the people what they wanted. These days, what people want is to make it to their car without getting mugged. Buy a new TV, come home from work and see that it's still there. Hear about a murder in the barrio, then see on the news the next day the cops caught the guy who did it. And if having all that means that some cop roughs up some nigger or some spic in the ghetto, for most people, it's 'Don't ask, don't tell'.

Michael Cole: [on The Shield's tendency to gang up on one opponent] The problem is, every time somebody gets some momentum going, The Shield just has too many guys.
JBL: No, they don't have too many guys, Michael. It's three-on-three; they work together better than the other team!
