Roger

Roger (died 2001) was a former Los Angeles Police Department Narcotics Officer-turned-drug dealer and was good friends with Alonzo Harris and was one of Jake Hoyt's enemies. He is the secondary antagonist of Training Day (film)

Life and Career
Roger is a quarrelsome, arrogant, corrupt and greedy LAPD Narcotics officer like his friend, Alonzo Harris. Roger is also loyal to drug addicts and is extremely talented at telling jokes that don't make any sense at all. Probably his most memorable quote in the movie is "You figure that joke out, you figure the streets out". Roger also has tattoos on both arms, wears earrings, has light gray hair, a beard and sometimes wears glasses and spends a majority of his time lounging around in his house dreaming about moving to the Philippines with Alonzo.

Meeting Roger
After Jake Hoyt, Alonzo's rookie officer gets intoxicated with PCP that was inside a joint of marijuana, Alonzo takes Jake over to meet Roger, one of his good friends who worked in the LAPD for a long time before deciding to become a drug dealer. Alonzo gives Roger a plastic bag full of Mexican marijuana that he had confiscated from drug addicts and Roger sniffs the marijuana to find out if it's still good. After sniffing the marijuana, Roger shows displeasure because the marijuana was apparently old and no more good. Alonzo states to Roger that the marijuana he confiscated wasn't that good and Roger agrees with Alonzo. Roger later warns Alonzo that the Russian Mafia is after him and that he is going to look out for him and make sure he gets away. Both Roger and Alonzo plan on going to the Philippines. It isn't really told what drugs Roger sells, presumably marijuana or cocaine.

Later
Alonzo orders a group of three evil cops called "The Three Wise Men" to help him hire additional evil cops and Jake to kill Roger and get the money that both officers had confiscated from the LAPD many years earlier. Alonzo also orders various tools (shovels, a chainsaw among others). to be used to find the money and dig the money out. Alonzo gets the money so he can pay the Russian Mafia since he owes them money after having shot one of their employees in Las Vegas years earlier. Jake is told to shoot Roger, but Jake refuses to kill Roger. Alonzo and his friends carry out the digging tools to get the money that he and Roger had stolen from the LAPD (and the money he made to sell drugs) before shooting him. After that, Alonzo and his friends dig up the money that he owes to the Russian Mafia. Alonzo states that Roger was killed while serving a high risk warrant and is hoping to get Jake to lose his job[this sentence needs fixed, alonzo said, when jake denies shooting roger."an officer[jake]was shot today servong a high risk warrant..survived by his wife and kid..." as a threat to jake that he should not try to tell the truth of how roger died] Alonzo later states that Roger sold dope to kids (which isn't seen). After encountering so many hostile cops (Alonzo included), Jake has had enough and decides to go after Alonzo and take the money Alonzo and Roger had stolen back to the LAPD as evidence. After Jake confiscates the stolen money from Alonzo. Alonzo tries to escape to LAX from the LAPD after shooting Roger and not paying the Russian Mafia. Unfortunately, Alonzo is cornered by the Russian Mafia and gets killed before he can make his getaway.

[This whole description is incredibly inaccurate, from little things (the weed was in a pipe, not a joint, was in tinfoil, not plastic, and was low quality and laced, not "old and no more good) to big ones (Alonzo didn't order the three wise men to do shit, they outrank him, he was bribing them, the didn't "hire" other cops to help, those were Alonzo's other guys) to just plain made up shit (there's no indication Roger is ex LAPD, the money was drug money, not "seized from the LAPD", and Roger isn't a secondary or any kind of antagonist). Whoever wrote this saw a trailer maybe, but hasn't watched the actual movie, or maybe saw it on mute through a neighbor's window.]
