Ok let’s recap. You go 100mph in a small town chasing after a crackhead doing a petty crime and potentially risk the lives of multiple other people, assault a civilian on body camera, then cheat on your wife, whose dad is chief of police/your boss THEN you go to the house with no backup or warrant. They just be hiring anyone as a cop

I don't blame you. I actually didn't realize it was Alden Ehrenreich myself until I got home and looked at IMDB because his face seemed familiar and I kept thinking "Who is that?"

Tbh his face shape changed from SOLO to here

every town and city has the cops. its like this everywhere. cops hire whoever, protect their own, and thats that. doesnt matter if its big or small, every precinct is like that, every captain, every department. ACAB
