Like most of the working people in Ba City, Carver and Herc have the unique atmosphere of people living in this city. They almost never stop cursing and mocking, complaining about the disproportionate ratio of work and salary, one after another dirty jokes. , Work hard, occasionally neglect duty, don't make big mistakes, and look forward to the opportunity to fly. After the establishment of the task force, due to lack of experience and knowledge, the two gradually separated from the decision-making level with Lester and Jimmy at the core and became the main executives of the task. The relationship has been very good. Even though there were quarrels due to some so-called "principles" in the later period, they all reached a settlement. In the final episode of Season 5, when Carver was awarded the title of lieutenant, Herc was still the first person to come forward and embrace him. , Is really the best performance among friends who seek common ground while reserving differences.
The main difference between the two is that, like Daniels, Carver is also a policeman who has awakened after experiencing self-struggle. Daniels completed this process through the influence of Jimmy and the killing of Wallace, while Carver was sublimated through Daniels’ forgiveness of his betrayal and his gradual understanding of drug dealer’s life, so that his integrity and kindness were gradually discovered. . But at the end of the fourth season, after Randy was sent to the orphanage, he also experienced the inevitable pain and helplessness on this road.
Herc is the representative of another type of police in the Baltimore Police Department. If Jimmy, Bunk, and Lester can understand drug dealers as human beings, then police such as Herc are the standard national power apparatus, and the bearded white man who was punished by Carver later In the same way, they are not representatives of the element of legal justice, and they show more power and coercion. From a certain perspective, they are closer to the essence of "police". However, after such a Herc left the police station, he immediately became the bodyguard of the lawyer Levy, escorting the man who had helped countless dead opponents who stood on his opposite side from crime. It can be described as the perfection of the law "power has nothing to do with good or evil". Satire.
