...real life, Alley is just like that drink, which goes down sweet--until the lemon tang hits. Ted Danson, who played Sam the horny bartender to Alley's sexually frustrated Rebecca Howe on Cheers, affectionately calls her "the biker chick from hell." She will say and do anything for a laugh, as Americans learned in 1991, when she thanked her husband Parker Stevenson for "giving me the big one" as she picked up her Emmy for Cheers.

Because law-enforcement officers routinely deal with people who are brutal and do not respond to sweet persuasion, the police must use force. Sadly, the only logic many criminals understand is the big stick. Thus to handcuff the police is to liberate the thug.
