Andre

Andre is one of the cops trying to keep kids out of gangs in the 1995 movie Clockers.

He was portrayed by Keith David.

He is a man of integrity among other cops. He often scolds kids, such as Strike's friend Tyrone who is often hanging around with the wrong crowd in the projects. Unlike Rocco, Andre does care about Strike, though Strike often underappreciates it (though this is more a misunderstanding, rather than direct disrespect). It's hard to blame Andre, cause he's just trying to protect the kids, even Strike, from the pressures of bad life.

Andre often is easily fed up. It doesn't corrupt his good character though. Even when Andre is finished with Strike, he is merciful enough to offer him a chance at escape. His isn't with bad intentions, unlike Rocco.

Andre is a good man who tries to save kids from going the wrong path.
