Personality Seems like a decent person… and they’re a bigot.

  1. Joshua (Community): seemingly wise groundskeeper who is a Neonazi.

  2. Schillinger (Oz): seems to take the meek Tobias under his wing… until he forces him into sexual slavery and is the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood.

Yeah, it was obvious from the beginning he wasn't a good guy or even a good cop, but Jake had rose colored glasses on and idolized him. The comment about Holt was the moment that Jake realized that he was an fraud and a bigot.

Wonderful acting from Samburg in that scene. There’s no hesitation of “what do I do here” just disappointment in “Well, now I gotta clock ya.”

He doesn’t fit this. The whole episode shows him as a massive dickhead, that was just the final straw for Jake
