How Was Paul Hodges Even A Cop In The First Place?

I'm sorry, with no explanation given in the movie AT ALL, that just went beyond willing suspension of disbelief as far as I was concerned. Tracy Morgan was still pretty damn funny though, the movie just didn't work because there's no way Paul Hodges would be permitted to be a police officer.

Just, everything about the whole character. No friggin' way could that guy be able to be a cop, even in a comedy movie like this.

Ever see the Police Academy movies?

An aspect in the Police Academy movies was that they had 'dumbed down' the standards.
