I would say he is a hypocrite considering how he his actions. Though it didn't affect his aim in anyway.

I would not call him a hypocrite. The view of drugs like weed are different with the younger generation

He was not a hypocrite although it seemed so. I believe that Steve just had a way which suited well with him in tackling the issues.

Steve was not a hypocrite. Frankly speaking, I will do what Steve did if I was in his shoes. Besides, i commend Steve's effort to protect his love

In Steve’s position most people would act the same. As humans we would do literally anything to protect those we love and that’s exactly what he did.

Well to me, Steve wasn't hypocritical, however, what I think is that Steve want to flow well with his peers that's is the main reason for his actions

I think Steve was in a dilemma and mostly in a complex situation. if we observe his situation very well, we will see that he wanted to make a difference but was been met with what was beyond him. i think his being a hypocrite was justifiable. I understand that even if he would achieved his purpose, it will take time.

A hypocrite is too harsh a word to describe some of his wrongs. What Steve portrayed was simply human weakness and imperfection. I don't consider him a hypocrite for that.

I don't think he was an hypocrite because I would have done the same thing he did If I were in the same circumstances. I would have done anything to protect the love of my life.

He was not a hypocrite in my eyes. If indeed he was  he could also have become corrupt while he was in the police force, but we are all human beings and we cannot be perfect. He had to also use that opportunity to protect the person he loves.

Despite the fact that I am a great proponent of setting an example, I wouldn't exactly describe Steve as hypocritical. He wasn't supposed to become a saint just because he tried to fight off corruption.

The hypocripsy comes due to his sentimental attachment to Roxy. His abuse of drugs is due to his addition that gone over the time. That means that Roxy and drugs were his weaknesses.

I think it depends. Smoking dope while illegal isn't that serious of a crime and while he's a police officer, he's a human being first and will at times need to have a life outside of uniform and so I wouldn't say he's a hypocrite, I would say he's just human.

He was a bit biased when it came to people he loved. I don't blame him for that, it's our human nature to care for our loved ones. I don't think he was hypocritical.

I don't think he was a hypocrite, rather he needed to fit in with his friends and especially in the police department if at all he wanted to succeed in making things right.
