He does it yet again.

I think he has some disorder(?) where he is obsessed with having the last word. Even if you make a statement that he agrees with, he apparently feels the need to respond ā€œYes,ā€¦ā€, as if heā€™s an authority and heā€™s reassuring us that we got the correct answer. Really fecking condescending. ---

Itā€™s less having the last word and a pathological need to be accepted AS authority. As in, it doesnā€™t really matter what YOU say or even what his OWN CITES say (his lack of reading comprehension has demonstrated this repeatedly when his own cites contradict him), itā€™s what HE says that matters, and it is perplexing to him why others donā€™t accept that. ---

Why must he continually pick apart cop shows to gripe about how the shows include unrealistic details? NO ONE CARES. Cop shows are unrealistic. Get over it. Watch something else. ---

Heā€™s a federal agent, clearly seeing unrealistic details in cop shows upsets his professional pride at seeing the important and dangerous work he does being misrepresented. _checks notes_ Ahem, oh yeah, sorry, he thinks calling his job pushing papers for Social Security being a ā€˜federal agentā€™ isnā€™t misleading in the slightest. ---

Heā€™s only among the more recognizable actors over the last 25-30 years, but okay. I mean, maybe thatā€™s his way of saying he checked out of popular culture in the early 1980s?
