Lawman Gone Bad	comment	At first glance, he is the Reasonable Authority Figure or maybe even a Gentleman Detective. However, if you push them too far in just the right place (may or may not be their Berserk Button), he will have a good reason to become an outcast from the police force and perform a Faceâ€“Heel Turn. What causes them to turn from the law they upheld varies, though disillusionment, disgruntlement or greed will usually be at the root of it. Due to the nature of the trope, it's often used as part of the character's backstory, or as the surprise twist at the end. If the lawman is not the hero of the story, then he might do a full Faceâ€“Heel Turn. After helping the hero defeat the villains, he turns on the hero and tries to kill him so he can have the money for himself. To put it bluntly, this character is what's known as a Lawman Gone Bad. This is a character who takes pride in working for the law before an incident that makes him snap causes him to distance himself from those that he used to work for. The character may also be a Big Bad Friend. Related to Dirty Cop and Cowboy Cop. Compare Fallen Hero. The companion trope where someone who was once in the military and has turned to crime is From Camouflage to Criminal.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_1a5d1224	comment	Sargent Haig of The Mental State starts out as a Jerkass who looks down on the prisoners he is guarding and regards them as scum. Then, when the prison starts to adopt more liberal policies and the inmates are granted more freedom, he becomes even more sadistic and retaliates by beating one of the frailer prisoners up for no good reason. He gets worse after he is falsely accused of dealing drugs and incarcerated in the same prison. He even joins up with a criminal gang just so that he can get revenge on the one responsible for framing him.

The first is Chief of Security Buck, who upon stumbling across a smuggling ring, blackmails his way into it and is willing to kill to cover it up. The second is Athmani, a South African game warden brought in to the park as a consultant, who after years of combatting murderous Rhino poachers for a pittance, cracks when offered an opportunity to steal rhino horns worth hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars without killing any of them, even though just the act of putting those horns on the market would feed the demand for more poaching.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_21171298	comment	Commissioner Gauche in Murder on the Leviathan spends about 9/10ths of the novel dedicated to capturing a genuinely dangerous and nasty killer (albeit without that much competence). Then, when it transpires that the motive for the murder involved a treasure map which would lead to more money than Gauche would make on a policeman's salary in ten lifetimes, he promptly beats the captured murderer to death trying to find out where the map was. Unfortunately for him, the man he killed was only an accomplice, and the actual killer makes Guache the next victim.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_4737c653	comment	Elementary: In "One Way to Get Off", we learn that Gregson's former partner D'Amico planted evidence on Wade Crewes because the police couldn't prove his guilt legitimately. When By-the-Book Cop Gregson calls her out on this, she's more concerned with the potential impact on her career than the miscarriage of justice. The villain in "A Giant Gun, Filled With Drugs" is an undercover DEA agent who tries to make some money on the side by kidnapping the daughter of Holmes' old drug dealer. The culprit of "Details" is an ex-girlfriend of Detective Bell's, who was also a beat cop. She had been trying to get promoted into Vice, but after learning that Bell went to Internal Affairs with evidence that her late superior was a Dirty Cop on a major drug case they were all working on, her chances were next to nothing, so she took it out on Bell.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_4d5b6107	comment	In The Usual Suspects, Keaton used to be a cop, but was an extremely Dirty Cop even while he was on the job, resulting in multiple indictments before he was eventually kicked off the force. He then became a career criminal who was probably responsible for multiple murders, both in normal life and behind bars during a stay in prison. His friend Verbal claims that Keaton was attempting to put his criminal past behind him and start a new life shortly before the start of the film, but police harassment ruined his chance at that, driving him back to criminal work. Whether that is true is very much up for debate.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_baa0410d	comment	Speed: Howard Payne was a former member of the Atlanta PD bomb squad, who turned Mad Bomber after being forcibly retired, due to an accident which injured his right hand. He couldn't continue on the force, but wasn't disabled enough to qualify for collecting his pension. Howard did not take it well.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_c2297a9c	comment	Judge Dredd has several examples: The most notable is Dredd's own clone brother, Rico. After graduating top of his class, Rico starts taking bribes and running his own rackets while on the job. Joe ends up arresting him and sentencing him to twenty years on Titan, which he actually survives. Rico comes back for revenge and Joe is forced to kill him. Judge Fray, who works with criminals and tries to kill Dredd, insists that he hasn't "gone bad", he's gone honest. The Judge system is inherently evil, and he's just the only one who is prepared to admit that and commit to it. He's ... not exactly wrong.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_cac1f772	comment	In an episode of CSI, the team investigates a series of killings related to the murder of a mob boss many years before. It's mentioned that a patrol officer called in the car crash/body but mysteriously vanished along with the ill-gotten gains and the possibility of this trope is discussed. It turns out that the corpse that was thought to be the mob boss's was actually his, killed in order to serve as a decoy.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_dab32e3	comment	Numerous examples in Mega Man X, including every single major villain in the first game. The Maverick Hunters are robot police, and one of the most common backstories in the series is 'former Hunter gone rogue.' The reasons vary â€” the most common one is infection by the Maverick Virus, but there are others, especially in the Maverick Hunter X version of the continuity. Sigma, depending on the version, went rogue either because of the virus, to force 'evolution' and draw out the true potential of the reploid race through constant conflict, or both; Sting Chameleon was forced into going rogue because of hostages; Chill Penguin did it out of boredom after having spent so long assigned to Antarctica, Bubble Crab to get rich; and so on.

Lawman Gone Bad / int_e1f0f98d	comment	Inverted in Daisy Kutter, where the sheriff of Middleton is the former train-robbing outlaw Tom McKay. Tom gave up his life of crime and settled down to become a small-town sheriff. He spends the first half of the comic trying to convince his ex-girlfriend and ex-partner-in-crime Daisy to do the same — she quit the banditry business the same time he did, but she opened a general store rather than join up with the institution they once rebelled against. By the end of the comic, Tom's injuries force him to retire and Daisy takes his place as the sheriff of Middleton.

Originally a cop from Philadelphia, Mike becomes a Dirty Cop to survive in the corrupt precinct and then tries to bring his son into the fold as well. It fails miserably, as his son is then killed by Mike's colleagues. Then Mike resigns from the force, and enacts vengeance upon the said cops, and then joins both Gus and Saul as the former's hitman.
