Ana-Lucia: Good Cop or Bad Cop?

[Lyra Ngalia]

Maybe this is an exercise in futility, but maybe we can all just put aside the innate love/hate of Ana-Lucia for a minute to discuss somthing.

Without going into her personality, do you believe Ana-Lucia's actions justify her as a good police officer?

[LoStMyMiNd]

NO

[DohBoy]

Good cop before or after she got shot?

She seemed like a good cop before she got shot, and a bad cop after she got shot.

[Khan]

Which actions? As a police officer or on the Island,since some feel she's still acting out that role?

[Lyra Ngalia]

Both. Either. Whichever you feel you can make a good case for.

[Einna]

I would shoot the man who killed my little brother without flinching, so God only knows that I cannot condem her for shooting the man who killed her unborn child.
I don't know if I would class her as good or bad, because I don't see things or people as good or bad...just the ones I do agree with and the ones I don't. Legally, morally, etc. her actions might be wrong, but I do not disagree with them.

[Unnamed Redshirt Number 4]

Absolutely not. Since we do not have ample evidence of her qualifications as a cop before the Jason incident (besides her friendships with the other cops), I'm just basing this opinion on after said incident.

No, no, no... and no. Ana is a terrible cop. Wonderful character, but positively dreadfully awful cop.

[Khan]

I'd have to give some serious thought to her before the Island,but after as a "police presence", for the lack of a better term,I'd say bad.She's more like an agent of police state than a good cop.Sayid has that same problem.

[imaguestage]

Until I see more of her life pre-Jason, I have to agree with UNR4 that she was a bad cop (but great character :) ) I also have to agree with Khan that her attempt at being "police force" on the Island was a complete disaster.

[Hodgepodge]

Yeah, I have to agree with URN4 and Imaguestage. From what we've been shown, she would be a bad cop. But, I would venture to say, with her mother as a Captain, she may've been exemplary police office at one time.

[Brian]

Without going into her personality, do you believe Ana-Lucia's actions justify her as a good police officer?
MR aside, honestly, I don't thing we have enough background info yet to make an educated decision on this. We've only been shown what TPTB have wanted us to see and, let's admit it, it hasn't been much.

That said, I'll go out on a limb here. From what I've seen, I have to think she's a good cop who's possibly made some bad decisions. Police, like the rest of us, make bad decisions from time to time. It happens, they're human. Try doing a forum search for member - 16L43. I'm not saying anything you'll find will deal with bad cops, quite the opposite, just read his words and you'll see what I mean when I say they are human too. Emotion and circumstances come into play for them with every decision they make.

Time will tell about Ana-Lucia though. I just can't make a definitive decision about her one way or the other right now.

[PhantomPhase]

Actually, how you feel about Ana is irelevent with this question. You have to go by the conduct expected of a Police Officer. She killed someone off duty out of spite, that makes her a bad cop. I'm not passing judgement on her actions, just the standards set forth in her profession.

[TheBigCat]

Aw...come on. The TPTB-intended line is that she became a cop because her mom was a cop, and if you factor gender and ethnic barrier issues into that equation you have the makings for either an officer who will follow every letter of the law or one who is going to go rogue at the first sigh of adversity. Losing her baby did not make her a bad cop. If she weren't a bad cop to begin with she would never have taken matters into her own hands.

[azteclady]

I tend to agree with TheBigCat in thinking that killing Jason coldbloodedly in revenge was in keeping with character - the magnitude of the tragedy she was avenging was reflected by the coldness of her actions, but it was an extrapolation of who she was/is.

[Hodgepodge]

AZ, I see what you and TBC are saying. But don't you have to factor in her psychosis? I've admitted on several occasions, the trauma of getting shot. Loosing her unborn child. Took Ana-Lucia to a different place psychologically.

OK, I'll put the question out there! At the time Ana-Lucia shot Jason, was she clinically insane?

[boonian androphile]

I say that she was obsessed just as Kate and Sawyer were when they killed someone. They wanted revenge. Insane? That's tough. She might have been in a position where she had to take action or sink into an abyss. I think that depression was a possibility. Insane implies a lack of reality. The trouble is that a loss of a child would make the situation all too real...I wonder when it is all said and done how many characters will have engaged in their pasts of on the island in some form of revenge.

[ekoistheman]

Bad cop.
if this was a real situation in the real world, most of us would have had the same feelings. Only a fraction of us would have acted on those feelings. you can not say a good cop murders in cold blood.

[Hodgepodge]

She was seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist. Then we see her go off during that domestic dispute incident. I don't think she was wrapped to tight.

Are you referring to her murder of Jason McCormack? There was nothing to justify her actions in that incident. What she had done was wrong.

However, we have no idea of what kind of cop that Ana-Lucia was before she had been shot. Her actions on the island seemed to indicate her competency, despite her emotional breakdown in "Abandoned" and "Collision". Although, judging from the flashbacks in "Collision", she seemed to have been very popular with her fellow police officers.

[sarelisheaq]

We have no way of knowing whether she was deemed clinically insane from that episode, except the fact that she was put back on the force would indicate that she wasn't. I personally can't of any circumstance where a cold-blooded murder is a good indication of a rational thinking person, but that is in fact evidence of her being a "bad cop" in my book.

I agree that Ana's murder of Jason was not a good thing. But what about her time as a cop before the whole "Jason McCormick" incident? What kind of cop do you think she was?

[boonian androphile]

BA, what prompted my last post, was the first scene in Ana-Lucia's flashback. She was seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist. Then we see her go off during that domestic dispute incident. I don't think she was wrapped to tight.

I see. In that context, some major post tramautic stress then. Clearly she was thinking about her the death of her unborn child 24/7. Plus the near loss of her own life. The disputing couple triggered the over-reaction. That was definitely a sign that she was not ready to return to duty. Meanwhile, once Jason was identified, he was soon to be history. The first guy, in the domestic situation, was just a rehearsal.

[Hodgepodge]

I personally can't of any circumstance where a cold-blooded murder is a good indication of a rational thinking person, but that is in fact evidence of her being a "bad cop" in my book."Did she say -- you know, when I can come back to work?"
"She left the final determination up to me. Do you think you're ready?" "What do you think?" Then Mattew's hands Ana-Lucia her badge.

Thats's the ending dialog, from the first scene in Collision. This is of course my opinion, but I think she used her mother's position, and played the game to get back to work. She said all the right things. Dotted all the "i's", and crossed all the "t's". I wouldn't put it past her to seek out fellow officers who'd gone throuhg the same type of therapy.

[Warthawg1]

When she became a cop she took an oath to uphold the law, so I think the answer is pretty clear. Would I have killed the SOB?.. sure, but then again I have never taken any oath to uphold any law and I doubt I ever would.

[azteclady]

Hodge, there was a rather good discussion (IMNSHO) over Ana Lucía's psychological state in drabauer's Ana Lucía is dangerously unstable (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10934), which contains several very good essays on Ana Lucía's character, both on the island and before (bear in mind that I got there rather late, but this (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=225371&postcount=248) was my first contribution there).

There was also a poll on the topic of whether she was responsible (in the sense of not being legally insane) (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11237) of the murder of Jason.

[Hodgepodge]

Thanks AZ! I'll give those a read.

People murder each other everyday, there are good people and bad people who commit murder. The vast majority of people who commit murder are sane, and sanity is a matter of perspective. If you answer this question honestly, she is a bad cop, she broke her sworn Oath. Would I avenge the loss of a loved one in that situation? Yes, in a heartbeat. Just how bad a cop is she? Flashbacks are the only way we will find out.

[Lyra Ngalia]

A quote from another Lostie's flashback that seems to fit this discussion:
"Yes, but I don't have murder in my heart." ~ Sam Austen

[anu]

Was she a good police officer? No. A good police officer would have let them put the bastard in jail, not stalk him and shoot him. Was it understandable? Yes and no. I understand her motives, but a normal person does not kill people out of vengeange. The difference between thinking about doing that and actually doing it is the difference between a sane and an insane person. There are people who have hurt me and those close to me. Have I thought about killing them? Hell yeah. Have I killed anyone? No. If I did, would I expect to get away with it? No.

Ana-Lucia seems to have very little remorse for killing the man. She seems to be pitying herself too much to understand that what she did was a very valid reason never to work as a police officer again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she's a bad person (not for that anyway, I've got more than enough reasons not to like her anyway), as I said I understand that she feels awful for losing her unborn child. But someone with so much emotional baggage that it interferes with her work performance, (for instance, making her take her gun out in a situation where it's not the least bit necessary), should not be working as a police officer.

[azteclady]

The difference between thinking about doing that and actually doing it is the difference between a sane and an insane person.So... from this we conclude that anyone committing a crime in cold blood is insane and therefore not responsible for their actions? Wow.

Killing Jason McCormack was an evil act.

It has not been confirmed - one way or the other - that Ana-Lucia felt any remorse for killing Jason. To say that she didn't is to jump to conclusions.

Does that mean that Ana-Lucia was a bad cop before she murdered Jason? We don't know.

And if we're going to talk about remorse, I don't recall Charlie being remorseful for murdering Ethan. In fact, no one seemed to have thought it was wrong . . . except for Sayid, who was smart enough to realize that what Charlie had done was wrong.

And I don't recall Shannon ever feeling remorse for trying to murder Locke.

[anu]

So... from this we conclude that anyone committing a crime in cold blood is insane and therefore not responsible for their actions? Wow.

Ouch. Good point, I should have phrased that better. No, I did not mean that at all. "Sane and insane" weren't really the words I was looking for, sorry about that. I just meant that thinking about murder is (in my opinion anyway) within the boundaries of "normal" whereas actually committing it isn't. Again, every case should (and to my best knowledge, usually is) looked into individually, and seeing as Ana had the chance to put the guy away for a long time but instead chose to let him go just to kill him, I would say it's not normal behaviour. Yeah, probably way more satisfying for the tv viewers, not to mention the character, but not something she should expect to get away with.

I don't know whether Ana was a good cop before she murdered the guy, we haven't seen anything from before that. She gave the guy the benefit of doubt and he shot her, causing her to lose her unborn child. Bad judgement perhaps, but definitely no proof of her being a bad police officer at that point. And yeah, Charlie and Shannon didn't seem to feel remorse, but that's not really what this is about. They aren't police officers and this thread isn't about whether Ana was a good person or not, but about whether she was a good police officer. And my opinion is, if you don't abide to the law but take it into your own hands, even when given the chance to put the guy away, you're not a good police officer. Ana didn't recognise the fact that she was clearly not good to go back to work (and neither did the shrink, but he's not the subject of this thread, so I won't go into that) and once back at work, she acted in a way that was completely inappropriate for a police officer.

In short, before she got shot she might well have been a good police officer, we don't really have proof either way. But after she got shot, she definitely wasn't doing a good job.

edit:spelling

[Fish1941]

and seeing as Ana had the chance to put the guy away for a long time but instead chose to let him go just to kill him, I would say it's not normal behaviour

Considering that most of humanity's societies see nothing wrong in murdering someone out of revenge (I'm against it, by the way), perhaps Ana's behavior was normal. After all, Sawyer killed the wrong man because he wanted revenge for his parents' death. And Shannon tried to murder Locke because she wanted revenge for Boone's death.

Murdering someone out of revenge may be wrong, but it might also be considered normal behavior, since the majority of humans see nothing wrong about it.

[PhantomPhase]

No, I think she's a bad cop, just like Kate isn't a good bank robber (she got caught). A doctor takes an oath to do everything in their power to save lives. But if he murders a patient, he's not a very good doctor. Ana took an Oath, she broke it, she's a bad cop. Would I have sought revenge on the man who shot me, yes, but I'm not a cop.

[Fish1941]

Are you talking about before Ana-Lucia had been shot, or after? You keep saying that Ana-Lucia is a bad cop. But whenever I ask of your opinion on this matter before Ana-Lucia had been shot . . . you evade the question.

So, I realize that you believe that Ana-Lucia was a bad cop, when she killed Jason McCormack. Fine. Do you think that she was a bad cop before she was shot . . . or are you uncertain?

[PhantomPhase]

Again Fish1941 I think you have me confused with someone else as we have never debated on this particular thread. The question is: Ana-Lucia: Good Cop or Bad Cop, present tense. And I've explained my theory previously. If you asked: Was Ana A Good Cop or Bad Cop before she killed Jason? I honestly do not know, none of us do. Because they haven't shown us what she was like before. She obviously has anger management problems, and that is not so good when you are a cop.

[azteclady]

Ouch. Good point, I should have phrased that better. No, I did not mean that at all. "Sane and insane" weren't really the words I was looking for, sorry about that.

Yeah, probably way more satisfying for the tv viewers, not to mention the character, but not something she should expect to get away with.I sorta see your point now - however I would use 'within the boundaries of law or not' instead of normal/not normal. Meaning, I would be happy to bet that many of the people reading or posting in this community have at some point in their lives said or thought something along the lines of "I am/was so angry with (fill in the blank) that I could have shot/strangled/killed him/her" -and that is within the boundaries of the law. Acting on such a thought, on the other hand, isn't within the boundaries of law in most modern societies. Ana Lucía had perhaps better/more motives than many to seek revenge on the man who, by shooting her the cop, shot also her unborn son. That still doesn't make it a lawful action.Considering that most of humanity's societies see nothing wrong in murdering someone out of revenge (I'm against it, by the way), perhaps Ana's behavior was normal. After all, Sawyer killed the wrong man because he wanted revenge for his parents' death. And Shannon tried to murder Locke because she wanted revenge for Boone's death.

Murdering someone out of revenge may be wrong, but it might also be considered normal behavior, since the majority of humans see nothing wrong about it.Fish1941, I would love to know from which source you oh so authoritatively say the part I bolded.

I am particularly interested in seeing a study which shows such an statement to be true after, let's say 1950.

I would also apreciate knowing how that statement justifies Ana Lucía's action as a cop -sworn to uphold the law of the land, which in Los Angele's means: cold blooded murder is illegal, with potential death penalty- when she shot Jason.

Furthermore, I would really like to understand how Sawyer's or Shannon's or anyone else's actions in Craphole Island, however long after Ana Lucía's murder of Jason, explain, justify, or in any other way relate to Ana Lucía's own actions - particularly said murder, which took place before the plane crash.

[PhantomPhase]

Leigh, I think Fish1941 can handle the same criticism that she she has dished out times ten the past three months on her own.

[sarelisheaq]

Being upset by her stout opinion would undoubtedly be hypocracy, Leigh, but some people are offended by the racism, sexism and bigotry and accusations of being in denial. Feel free to disagree, but IMO any references to a fictitious character or an actress's ability pales in comparison to those types of accusations. If that was her intent, then there really is no point in defending her, is there?

I cannot stand Ana, am unmoved by MR and in all honesty do resent her being on the show. However, those are things I would never say of her, her fans or any other person simply to incite them. In a very light mood, I appreciate the irony of Fish's posts. More often, I own to being too hot-blooded, so I respond to her disrespect in anger.:ashamed: You can appreciate the irony of Ana-opposing men and women being tough, but can you at least understand and respect where they're coming from? This board is rare in its fans' ability to coexist peacefully.:Hugglepounce: I like it that way...

[DohBoy]

I think Fish's original question - is the hatred of Ana Lucia due to sexism? - is a valid question.

I also think that accusations that people here are sexist is not a constructive way to answer that question.

I don't think that Fish has gotten a satisfactory response to her question, which is why she continues to follow her same thesis.

[Khan]

People please....chill the heck out on Fish.

I get that ya'll think she came off as arrogant, but some of your responses are doing the same thing. Some of you "haters" seem actually quite calm and at least humorous as compared to some I've encountered elsewhere and it's refreshing...even though you dislike her you are funny about it at least (well, some of you ;))....so yeah, I appreciate that, BUT....Fish has a stout opinion just like you all do. Everytime she posts with a sense of passion she gets snippy criticisms....I guess I'm playing "devil's advocate" here b/c I've been where she's at....having AL "haters" pounce all over me b/c I angrily challenged them the same way they angerly bashed AL/MR. Man, I so want to hang around here for awhile and enjoy it....and as much as I see some things about this place that is much better than others, I'm already seeing some massive hypocracies.
Her posts ,in general,tell us what we're thinking and why we're thinking it. Time and again we have answered with our beliefs on gender,however they are dismissed as though we ourselves do not know what we feel unless it lines up with what she thinks.
But she can go to other threads bashing the hell out of characters like Kate and it's considered her valid opinion.We've had months of the same thing from her,not a point of view,but personal attacks. She never stays on the subject of the character or actress it always becomes about the people who do not like one or the other.
We are not required to entertain her,no one here was hired as her personal court jester. If we respond with humor it's because we choose to,most of us enjoy joking around.But our posts about the character or the actress does not have go through a joke meter before being posted.
Dohboy,perhaps you were not around when we answered her posts on this same subject for months on end now.The satisfactory answer she seems to want is total agreement with whatever foolish bit of nonsense she's posting.

[azteclady]

Leigh, nice meeting you.

I do not consider myself a hypocrite, your mileage may vary. No, I won't 'chill on Fish1941' until I again stop feeling like bashing my head against that wall (which happens periodically, as you may notice if/when you read posts from November to date).

Hope you are able to enjoy your interactions with the other people in this forum, both pro and against Ana Lucía, and pro and against Michelle Rodríguez, and pro and against Fish1941 (who, just in case that wasn't clear so far, has earned the dislike of the majority of the people who haven't chilled on him/her to date).

Cap'nDohBoy, taking your question seriously, for I know you will read and comprehend the answer: I think the influence of MR's on the character as it was being written has make the character all the poorer, but that it had great potential and could have enriched LOST. Following the tradition* of bringing into the conversation another character to prove a point, Danielle is a strong woman who doesn't behave like a girlie girl nor does she flutter her eyelashes at anyone, a woman who has admitted to killing (for all we know, murdering), several people, who has tortured one of my favorite characters, etc. and guess what? I love the character and think Mira Furlan does a helluva job bringing her to live and infusing her a depth that the script only hints at.

My dislike of Michelle Rodríguez as Ana Lucía (I haven't seen her in anything else and hadn't formed an opinion one way or the other before hand), is due to her poor acting skills, and seeing that I am a woman, a tomboy, tough, and stronger than most of the people I know, I think any accusation of sexism on my part is :bs:


*I didn't start the "tradition," but seeing as how it's hard to find a post about MR that doesn't mention someone else for the sake of making a point *shrug*

[Brian]

Well, there was a time when some would have asked the Ana-Lucia/MR detractors to back off of me. It took me a very long time to understand where they were coming from and why they believe the way they do. Had they backed off, I wouldn't have pushed them to explain themselves in terms that I understood. It finally happened and now I have a good grasp on their thoughts, I'd like to think anyway.

Then again, I answered their questions to me and they did the same in turn. That's one of the main problems some of them have with Fish. Rather than saying, "OK, I see your point there, but what about this.....", s/he just says the same thing time and again. That's where the "banging your head against the wall" thoughts/comments are coming from.

The question of why the Ana detractors dislike her in relation to gender has indeed been answered here in these forums, several times. That was the "light bulb" moment (if you will) of how I finally understood their frustration. It was when I admitted that I couldn't watch a show, nor like a character, such as Ana, were she a male versus female character that I finally understood it. Yeah, some don't like MR's acting, that's fine and debatable for every actor/actress alive. But it's the combination of how the character was written when she was introduced to us coupled with those episodes being thrown right back at us (almost 6 weeks of constant Ana) that caused a lot of this. You never get a second chance to make a first impression and TPTB behind LOST gave us a heavy dose of Ana not only in the episodes, but then repeating them right after they were initially shown. That's damage that will take a very long time to fix, if it's even fixable to some.

I'm a MR/Ana fan and initially I didn't understand that. I was seeing what the Ana detractors were saying simply from my point of view (as a Ana/MR fan). It wasn't until I changed the gender of the character that I understood. I won't go into it again as it's documented here, but I think the Ana detractors are quite within their rights in asking for further answers/explanations from anyone who likes the character and actress, just as we are in our own right to respond in kind.

Just my .02. /:soapbox:

[Mikefuzz]

I think she has always had her fair share of issues, the fact she believed the student and allowed him to reach into his pocket does prove that she was trusting, this would be a bad quality of a cop but a good quality of a person. Now however, it seems she has become a good cop but a bad person, it's clear she has always had that masquline and not very emotional auror about her, but before she lost her child she was, in the least bit a /good/ person. I think future flashbacks of Ana-Lucia will show that she blames herself for the deeath of her child, for allowing herself to be shot by the student. This would explain why she has become so bitter and misunderstood throughout the show by fellow castaways & viewers. I think Sayid understands her alot because he feels exactly the same way, he allowed himself to be put in the position to have to kill the woman he loved, and to a certain extent he thinks it was his fault for her being held captive in the military base for so long. Sayid & Ana-Lucia have quite a bit in common with eachother in terms of their past and how they have reacted to what has happened to them. Sayid was a bad person but a good soilder, he has now become a bad soilder but a good person, some might argue that he isn't exactly a bad soilder because he can torture people still, but the fact that he has a guilty consience about it proves he has become a bad soilder. Ana-Lucia was a bad cop and almost got herself killed by doing something that every cop out there is strictly trained not to do. Now she has become a good cop by trusting noone, but at the expense of not being such a good person. It's very clever the way theese two characters will progress in the future, I think it may be possible there could be a very strong friendship between Ana-Lucia and Sayid in the future, if not something more.

[cautiousguyonlost]

She can be a good cop but has the rep for being a bad ass to prove everyone that she can take care of herself on the street and in the police force..so apparently..I think she can be both..but if I had to choose...i think she is a bad cop....
