The guy playing good cop isn't supposed to threaten the person. Anything similar to a threat is phrased so that the "good cop" is protecting the person. Like, "Look, I am the only thing keeping my crazy partner from coming in here." That sort of thing.

Point being, the first two panels are both playing "bad cop."

I mean ACAB, but I see your point!

Yes, the actual method should really be called "friendly cop/unfriendly cop".

....but then we'd be discussing whether a friendly person would really bring in someone unfriendly.

Not bring him in, just like "hes real impatient, hopefully we can work something out just us two, I dont want to deal with him either"
