While Voight blurs the line between anti-hero and villain, his record affects him throughout the show’s run.

Orchestrating murders and retailiatimg on his own personal agendas, he is ruthless when able to use such means. Often putting away certain bad cops, he still can go along with other hypocrisies due to the Blue line politics.

He even blurs the line between necessary evil and bad cop, often finding ways to cover his tracks especially after doing a few revenge killings and covering up other messy shootings his squadmates committed.

He is different from other bad cops like Vic Mackey on The Shield in that he doesn’t profit from it but he also steals money to give to others as well.

As murderer and attacker Paul Foster who leaves marks on women he’s also raped, this reckless endangering man plays the race card and claims that women are lying hoes.

It all seems iffy when his background is only known for private trading and meatpacking but he is later seen burning the evidence and nearly the detectives upon arrest.

It later turns out that the original suspect jailed for these crimes was a blunder by Stabler and accidentally sent to prison but this man finally gets incarcerated.

When being hauled to jail, he even threatens to piss all over the arresting detective’s car and is later killed by that rogue detective but hus main perpetrating crimes will not be forgotten.
