Notice the repeating that he is a retired cop. A retired cop is just an ordinary citizen but given special privileges like carrying a gun. Something other ordinary citizens cannot do in Jowsey. Guess he is better than 99% of the rest of the population.

Don’t blame the retired cop. Blame the legislators, and then elect better ones.
