* VillainHasAPoint: He isn't exactly wrong when he claims that there's a lot of evil and corruption beyond Townsville, and that more Powerpuff Girls could indeed make the world a much safer place. Unfortunately, he isn't exactly interested in solving these problems; rather, he only intends to profit off them, deliberately making inferior clones of the Girls that break down after a few hours to make sure that both the average citizens and the world governments will keep buying them.

* BrilliantButLazy: For all his inept police prowess, to his credit he does manage to think of and put effort into a nearly well though-out plan to deceive the girls into falling in his trap so that he can kill them. In fact, the only reason his plan fails is that the acid he set the girls up to be dunked in doesn't actually work on them.

Or it could mean he bought them legally but didn't bother removing the tags because he was too lazy too. Given his horrible habits during his time as a cop, the latter theory seems more likely.
