"Back home I wouldn't be a fan of 'em but here? I trust human judgment over the iterations any day." Human, give or take. "This world could use more of them." And he wonders if he could give them some more power. Maybe when he's promoted. He thinks higher ranking cops have some minimal power over stopping the iterations.

"I say that even knowing some of the cops I know, and some of the fucking shitty 'militia' men that think they're doing justice. The people here? They're different. Most of 'em are reasonable. They don't see the answer as 'shutting down a threat'. You can talk them down. Or yeah, I guess tase the shit out of 'em but I'd prefer to save that for the people with the weapons and not the panicked wounded and fucking mentally ill."

Maybe he's sort of bitter with how he rushed to get Jane out of the way of the iterations.
