All Lego City police sets are like from Gotham City, from a certain point of view.

Why does superman have a mech? Why doesn't he just use his iconic power and threaten to throw a brick at lex?

So many crooks with crowbars and lots of money, wonder who the Batman of Lego City is ? Maybe Chase McCain is the Batman of Lego City ?

The mayor has to be the single most incompetent LEGO figure. Remember that years long period where city would just not do any actual house sets? They put all the funding into a million police vehicles and none into housing. Hell wasn't it only recently they did they're first ever grocery store? Unless you're a cop or fire fighter there are barely any secure jobs to turn to because they spend everyone's taxpayer studs on a swamp police force, and a mountain police force and a megablocking sky police force! No wonder there are so many criminals most figures don't have anywhere to work and if they do they need to megablocking squat in one of the 238 old police stations in order to have a roof over their heads.

In fact, come to think of it not many civilians do seem to turn to a life of crime, if you look at the faces it's just the same 15 or so people again and again, why do the Lego city police department spend so much on these insane vehicles to catch less than 20 criminals, there's hundreds of coppers in that city with so many fancy, expensive toys and they can't keep a group of unarmed criminals smaller than a public school classroom behind bars?

Maybe the answer isn't spending the GDP of a small nation on police helicopters annually then?

It's ducked man, just ducked, I say we just let the Demolition Dummy take that place apart, it ain't worth saving

Don't forget about inflation and Lego City's economy, 100$ for Ice Cream, Pizza or a Burger is too much, meanwhile Police Stations and Fire Stations are being built all the time and there's only 1 hospital every few years, WHO'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE HEALTH OF OUR CITIZENS ?

That's grossly unfair. The space exploration programme, the jungle development project, the undersea expansion scheme, and the travel network have all had horrendous levels of money poured into them. There must be some form of universal healthcare or a decent health insurance scheme in place, because the stunt bikers have been seen in hospital. It's a very unbalanced society, with a disproportionate amount of waste and recycling trucks and places to buy anything that generates rubbish. They don't need Batman, they need Green Arrow.

You see, Lego City suffers from something that I like to call the Police Industrial Complex. Mayor Corn-cob is in cahoots with the big industrialists who make the police equipment (in other words he is their puppet). Therefore Mayor Corn-cob allocates a more than necessary amount of money to the police force. He also has raised taxes for his own personal gain. The extra amount of police also helps if anyone questions his authority. And if they do, well let’s just say that there’s a reason so many men “fall” into the river in Lego city each day.

Over the years Mayor Corn-cob has also been ripping the funds away from other defence departments in order to tighten his grip on Lego City. After the events of the Alien Conquest in 2011, Mayor Corn-cob disbanded the ADU so that he could divert the funds to his new Forest Police division in 2012. To counter the event of anymore alien invasions he converted the Space-police division into Galaxy Squad and tasked them with eliminating any hostile alien species. He eventually axed the funding for Galaxy Squad in 2014, leaving them to be over-run by vengeful insectoids. There were no survivors. Mayor Corn-cob then used the newly freed up funds to build the massive 2014 police station and deploy the first Arctic explorers expedition that same year. These arctic explorers were sent because Mayor Corn-cob wanted to keep his drinks cool with ice.

The reason why Mayor Corn-cob doesn’t supply the LCPD with guns is because, apart from being an expensive endeavour, if the police kill more criminals the crime-rate goes down. If the crime-rate goes down, more and more citizens will question the need for so much of their tax money going into such an unnecessarily large police force instead of more housing or better healthcare. Before you know it Corn-cob would have a rebellion on his hands.

In conclusion, LCPD lore goes hard.

Mayor Corn-cob is the greatest LEGO villain, he needs to go. But then would that even fix anything? If we consider the lore of LEGO city undercover there was a mayor before Corn-cob and she too made much of the same concessions to the Lego police industrial lobby, it's clearly a systemic issue, we get rid of Corn-cob and another corporate lapdog gets put in his place.

Not to mention how long before his term it was an open secret that police stations were intentionally designed to have their jail cells to have walls fragile enough to be busted open by other crooks. All the tiles and smaller bricks they used for that cost more for the taxpayer than just using a big panel piece and some plates for those walls

And to be completely honest I don't know how the LEGO people can survive much more of these cutbacks. It used to be that LEGO schools taught all about history from all sorts of eras for students of any economic backgrounds, now only the children from the wealthiest of families get any and what they do get is a pitiful single term about medieval times once a year.

Not to mention how much money goes into rebranding the base police almost every other year AND how poorly designed everything in that city is (how is almost everything they build flammable? How many trash cans must catch fire before they change their design)

LEGO city is beyond any conventional repair or reform, it needs to literally be rebuilt from the ground up, like Gotham it needs a symbol...
                                                                                          

CONSIDER! I have recently been looking into Demolition Dummy lore and in May 2010's LEGO Magazine it was made clear this hero nearly disassembled the entirety of LEGO City, this is a nearly incomprehensible feat for a single minifigure. Think about how the Brickster needed a magic book to disassemble the much smaller LEGO Island. I think we should just let this absolute unit of a fig do what he wills and let a new City be rebuilt from the ashes

@Renny The Spaceman 'Some people just want to watch the world burn'. The demolition dummy is one of those people.

But don't worry: a new force will rise to stop the Dummy...

'Look! Down by the station! What is it? A steam loco? a maglev? a workman's handcar? NO! It's Super Station Master!

Faster than a speeding TGV! More powerful than runaway freight train on a mountain grade! Able to imitate any train's shape in the blink of an eye! It's SUPER STATION MASTER!

Once a mild-mannered manager of a lowly branch line railway station, until a chance encounter with a radioactive train ticket turned this simple everyman into SUPER STATION MASTER!'

I don't feel comfortable seeing a man with his floppy out as a hero 

Also, for the record, I think that is a gross mischaracterisation of the Dummy. Consider how despite his love of disassembling he's both a master builder and is seen building in the LEGO House app. The official character descriptions only mentioned that we don't know the reasons he takes things apart not that there's no reason. While some claim he takes everything apart that is an exaggeration or blatant lie as if we look at the LEGO Movie, LEGO city Undercover, the LEGO House animations, the 2010 CMF animations and so on he's not mindless in what he does, he is most of the time is shown not disassembling anything when there is plenty to take apart in front of him. It is my belief as the world's leading Demolition Dummy scholar that when he takes builds apart it's not random, his disassemblies are not crimes of convenience but instead a declaration of the deep moral decay in many institutions, only targeting the lego models to corrupt to save, only able to be once again pure by being unmade and returning their bricks to the state of infinite, untapped potential that would of been lost long ago.

Also Super Station Master made me feel unsafe when I saw him in LEGO Island 2 as a kid

It sounds like Lego City has a serious propaganda problem. Is Mayor Corn-Cop behind this? Has he been demonizing anyone who attempts to change the status quote and challenge his aggressive pro-police policies?

[Lego Nostalgia]

How long was Mayor Corn-Cob in power ? he has stayed longer than when his term was over, there's no democracy in Lego City, only one party, one candidate and no voting required

I endorse Clutch Powers for Mayor

Hold up. What is Lego made from? Plastic. What is plastic made from? Corn. Therefore, Lego Minifigures are made from corn. Why does Mayor Corn-Cob wear what is essentially the husks of unmade minifigures everywhere he goes? I’m beginning to suspect there might be something much darker going on in Lego City.

Clutch unfortunately got stuck in the Ninjago universe during the events of Lego dimensions, so he’s not going to able to help any time soon. (That’s my head-canon for why he’s even there in the first place)

As for the rest of Clutch Team: Mayor Corn-cob appointed Brick Masterson as Chief of the FDLC so he won’t cause any problems as long as he’s on the payroll, Bernie von Beam was kidnapped and is now forced to make new police vehicles and Peg Mooring was assassinated whilst on a jungle expedition by Corn-cob’s agents (Johnny Thunder is currently trying to avenge her)

I don’t know dude. That kinda sounds a bit like genocide. The death toll would be catastrophic. And most of the casualties would be innocent people. Besides, isn’t Demolition Dummy locked up in maximum security? Pretty sure the Ultra Agents have him in custody.

*Corn-cob* but no. As I mentioned before, anyone who questions Mayor Corn-cob’s authority finds themselves “falling” into the Lego City river. There’s a reason why the rescue services don’t deploy any pre-existing vehicles but instead take the time to build entirely new ones.
 

Instead of Station Master or Demolition Dummy (actual crinimals themselves) I propose a team comprised of some of the greatest heroes Lego City has ever seen. The likes of: Johnny Thunder, Solomon Blaze, 2002 Lego Spider-Man (though he hasn’t been seen since 2002 so he might be dead), Bobby Buoy and Chase McCain. They, with their combined skills, are the only ones who could take down Corn-cob.

Anyone else have any candidates for this elite team?

SLANDER AND LIES

I THINK YOU'RE BEING PAID BY CORN-COB TO SLAG HIM OFF

The Dummy only takes objects apart, people would be unharmed

If all the police equipment is disassembled then the people can take back the city

And he's not in custody canonically he's currently employed by the Monster Scientist as his lab assistant in the LEGO house 

Besides Corn-Cob defunded the ultra agents ages ago, even if they're still working off the books they'd not be able to hold someone as powerful as the Dummy (can survive disassembly, can self detonate on command and instantly regenerates)

Also Chase MCcain isn't gonna go against the cops for obvious reasons 

But I see past your ruse, you ask for us to give you the names of other LEGO heroes who could stand a chance so you can tell Corn-cob and take care of them before they unite and become a threat. We're not going to fall for your tricks
