It's terrible, but there's something hot about bad cops. They're authoritative, powerful, within arms reach of the worst villains life can throw and, they're only occasionally redeemable. What a challenge.

In honor of David Ayer's Street Kings we did a little bad-to-worse survey of the boys who soil their blue. Some of them are hot, some of them caustic, but all of them are fascinating. The cops on this list might shame those who loyally "Protect and Serve" but you know what they say, it's hard to look away from a train wreck.

10. Web Smith (Wesley Snipes) in Rising Sun

Web Smith (Wesley Snipes) is a good cop. He's mostly clean, except for one little incident in his past, involving a drug dealer, a crib, and a small stack of bills. Web's been walking around with this secret for a long time, and the bad news is that someone else knows about it, and it eventually gets used as leverage against him. But compared to the plans and conspiracies surrounding the murder he's investigating, the old bribe is really just small change.
