Taking the money from drug operations and all that sort of stuff is something that goes past what most of us in society would expect a policeman should do.

It's strictly business. If I loan you $25 million, I want my money back. I don't want to hear about the social impact. That's great for you, but now I'm $25 million in the hole, so next time you come to ask me.
