Why is Kim a good cop? I'm not familiar with the text Columbo is from so I'm not gonna comment on him, but Kim at least is just a very competent detective working for a neoliberal-ish imperialist bureaucratic coalition, and he enforces their rule. I guess he does participate in the vaguely populist uprising after the game is over, so a little kudos to him.
Detective Lieutenant Columbo (when people ask his first name, he tells them it's Lieutenant) is from a tv show where he's a little gremlin man who gets on people's nerves and arrests a member of the bourgeoisie in almost every single episode. He refuses to carry a gun, and I can't even remember a single time where we see him in a police department or doing cop stuff. He just solves crimes and then goes home to his invisible wife.
Yeah nearly every crime Columbo solves is some upper strata Los Angeles freak who killed someone using a diamond covered pool stick. Also Columbo likes chili and he may or may not have a glass eye. In one episode he caught Leonard Nimoy being an evil doctor.
However, as a negative, it's shown in several episodes that Columbo speaks fluent Italian and I can't forgive that
Don't be an ass Jim, not only you deserve some fun
Real life almost never actually solve crimes so I think that counts as enough of an abstraction that he's a good guy.

People think he is cute.Wait how do you find that out? Do you have to wait through the credits to get an epilogue? I didn't sit through the credits.
You need high Shivers and high Espirit de Corps. There's an event after the events of the game called The Return, it's supposed to be a political revolution of sorts but it's not very explicit whether it's meant to be a communist revolution again or if it's some kind of fascist uprising either, all that the game really tells you is that some of the cops from the RCM participate in it after all is done.
