Folge 134: Vincent R. – Der Kindercop

Vincent will nur eins: Polizist sein. Also lernt er schon als Kind, wie man als Cop auftritt. Von Cops im Fernsehen und denen bei der Chicago Police. Bis er es so gut kann, als sei er wirklich einer. Spoiler: Das klappt – aber jedes der vielen Male seiner Auftritte für Recht und Ordnung nur kurz. Und so pflastern viele Jahre lang sowohl vielerlei Uniformteile als auch einige seufzende Richter seinen Weg.
