I have a sneaking suspicion that they gave Billy that overly complicated, busy-work, crime-stopper-or-whatever job in the third Beverly Hills Cop movie as a front to keep Billy and his guns off the street.
I mean, think about it: Taggart’s not in the picture (for whatever reason - did they even give an explanation in the movie? I don’t recall). My theory is that he either retired or got reassigned or something, and that left Billy to his own devices. From there, he ran amuck. He was probably dishing out heavily-armed justice left and right, scaring everyone with his guy liner, so the higher ups in charge decided to get him (and his guns) off the street by handing him a cushy office job so he remains contained and compliant.
They know how…out there he is.
I’m yet to be presented with a better explanation. The movie sure as hell wasn’t giving one.
((Also if they do end up making a fourth film, unless it’s called Beverly Hills Cop IV: We Need To Talk About Billy, I’m not listening))
