A great way of putting it! Feral does come across as someone who
both figuratively and literally clawed his way to the top. He's a
hands-on kind of cop, who shows open disdain for politicians - not
the sort who'd be a police chief in US cities today.

Of course this begs the question of why he dislikes the SWAT Kats
_so_ much. I mean, yeah, acting like it is one thing, but there
seems to be quite a bit of reality to it. And he's not the sort to
put on an act just for the benefit of the politicos either.

Another unanswered puzzle. Sigh.
