They start out FIGHTING pedos and to really be successful at it you have to THINK like a pedi.
Then you get good, you think MORE like them. You research more, understand more. And you have more success.
And then?
There's no more acting --you really *ARE* ONE OF THEM.
That's the only way I think someone can go from his heights down to where it appears he realy is --the scum gutter of Planet Earth.
It doesn't lessen the crime, really, but it does help me to understand it on a conceptual basis.
Could be.
Although I also think that if you start out in a law enforcement position with an ideological and moral attitude against pedophilia, you will become even more so with experience. What these guys see during the course of their daily work is really sick and heart wrenching. Hard to switch sides at that point.
But if he started out with that inclination, different story.
Probably not the case with this character at all.
He was most likely put in place because he knows how to cover up things like this. Who is going to investigate this cabal? The agency of which HE is the appointed head?
