Re: the T-1000. Its combat abilities would be nowhere near as useful as the Jedi's crime-solving telepathic abilities. Very rarely does the success or failure of police action or investigation hinge upon lethal combat skills.

The only other competitor would be Judge Dredd, because you've just gotta love a cop who can march into a room full of perps and shout "I AM DA LAW!!!" without getting his ass kicked.

That's true, but we also saw the T-1000 follow John's trail from his house to the mall, then guessed correctly and went to the arcade. if this is an example of its reasoning abilities, I'm impressed.

I don't know if Judge Dredd would fit in with a modern police force. He's too violent.

sorry my mistake TV helicopters NEVER cover crime scenes, or car chases,

i guess all that footage on tv is just hollywood magic :)
Are you trolling, or are you stupid?

How the fuck can a reporter in a helicopter tell from the air whether someone is using Jedi mind tricks? That's the Jedi's most important skill, you know; it's not as if you're going to send a precious resource like that out to leap on speeding cars.
Hostage situations, for one, not every crime is a drunk driving on a rampage,
What about the shoot out in california a few years ago with the guys with Ak's there were police coverage stories all over the place, not to mention cops would leak information about the jedi, just like they do now a days with real life events. The media is everywhere.

I'm a useless pile of subhuman racist filth who attacked Darth Wong's heritage and accused him of abusing his wife and children!

Another problem for the Jedi, is that he's going to be a prime target for a lot of criminals, lots of assasination attemps will be made,

not sure how long he'd last

And how would a helicopter reporter see from the air that a Jedi's ability to talk a perp into releasing his hostage uses the Force and not on smooth talk?

Yes, and if they report that one of the NYPD's cops has mythical mind-reading and telekinetic powers based on his surprisingly quick reflexes and his ability to talk people into things, they will be laughed into next week, fired, and re-hired by the National Enquirer.

I'm still trying to make up my mind as to whether you're deliberately trolling or simply stupid.

I'm not sure what pisses me off more, people who don't like to read the tread starters original post, or people who like to lash out really fast, just to be an asshole

Wong, if you took the time to actually read what I wrote initially for this thread, you'll notice that the Mayor knows about these people, so now his assistances know, and now the chief of polcei know, and now 50 other people know, the lawyers know, so they can make sure everything is legal. Think about it, and stop being such a prick, thanks

Not to mention that I even think you said sometime or another that you hate people who don't read what the thread starter wrote carefully, take a look in the mirror

Thank you for proving my point about Dredd not fitting in with modern police.

You won't recognize something said in jest if it took the form of a unicorn and jab you in the backside, would you?
