So who is your favorite cop?

[Orac Zen]

Frank Furillo and Phil Esterhaus.

Several rungs below them would be Richie Santoro and Phil Roussakoff (from the short-lived Brooklyn South) and John Sullivan from Third Watch.

 

[The Laughing Vulcan]

Gene Hunt you slag!

 

[J.T.B.]

Sheriff Andrew Jackson Taylor.

 

[Fist McStrongpunch]

Hanzo the Razor and his "longest arm of the law."

 

[cardinal biggles]

Andy Sipowicz, hands down.

 

[Gil T.Azell]

First cop that came to mind was Lennie Briscoe, of Law & Order.....

Same here.
also
Andy Sipowicz.

 

[Kryton]

I'm partial to both Dangle and Weigl.

But then I gave up on serious cop shows (and serious doctor shows) quite some time back.

 

[M'Sharak]

Dave Creegan
Inspector Morse
McGarrett
John Klute

 

[J.T.B.]

Personally, I'll take Norman Buntz over Andy Sipowicz any day!

--Justin

 

[Harvey]

Frank Black (Millennium)
John Doggett (The X-Files)
Chief Inspector Barnaby (Midsomer Murders)

 

[DWF]

I'm surprised this name hasn't been mentioned yet, Dirty Harry Callahan and of course Robocop.

 

[Ethros]

My favourite cop is John Kimble. The Kindergarten Cop!

 

[Tomato]

McNaulty & Freamon (the Wire)

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Gotta give props to ol' Jack Regan.

"Get your trousers on, you're NICKED!"

(be interesting to see what Ray Winstone does with it in the remake)

 

[Thrall]

Max Payne

QTF.


Columbo is another for me. And John McClane, of course.

And on a sillier note, who doesn't love Sergeant Frank Drebin, Detective Lieutenant Police Squad?

Hells yeah. Max Muthafuckin' Payne! Hope the movie does the game justice.

John McClane is iconic. Chow Yun Fat from Hard Boiled is just the best.

 

[Akiraprise]

I'm surprised this name hasn't been mentioned yet, Dirty Harry Callahan and of course Robocop.

Probably my two favorite also.
Peter Weller does an awesome job underneath all that armor.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Doakes.

Second favorite. I avoided mentioning him due to not having seen S2 of Dexter, so don't anyone elaborate.

Also Seth Bullock of Deadwood, tho I haven't gotten to the part where he (presumably) reinvigorates his law-enforcement career...

And does Jack Bauer count as a "cop"? He shoots people a lot and shouts.

 

[kalysto]

McNulty, Kima, Freamon and Bunk from The Wire.
Bullock and Charlie from Deadwood.
Chan Wing-Yan from Infernal Affairs.

Absolutely LOVE these guys (and girl!)

 

[Bishbot]

Willian "The Bunk" Moreland - he's just a suit and tie wearing motherf*****

 

[judge alba]

old Colombo is the best cop far as I'm concerned he don't use a gun and always makes out he a bit slow but quite quick witted. also he's funnily annoying too
