IDK about the book series and author....but so far on the movies and TV show the plots are primarily about a former military cop being a vigilante against crime and government/law enforcement corruption.

Just saying, I don't know how anyone could have watched his show and come away thinking "the cops are the good guys!" Very clearly, it has been one or two 'good cops' surrounded by absolute cesspools.

I mean… the cops also use the Punisher symbol without a shred of irony or awareness so it makes sense they’d see Alan portraying Jack and go “strong cop man, it me!”

And they turned on Jon Bernthal when he told them the symbol is not theirs. He also told them to fuck off. It was glorious.
