And to put an extension on it, here's some perspective:
Bulletproof (yes, it's one word in this context) FORMED this group by gathering police officers from across the country who each had a special concept in the term of "badass" and each one was fiercly loyal to him because he was more of a badass than any of them. He was so much of a badass that when he was shot the group was just staring out and needed to prove itself. The sane approach was to write him off as KIA and drop the idea. His team was so loyal to him that they brought him back from death (not near death, he was declared dead) and outfitted him with an impenetrable cybernetic torso (full upper body replacement) for no other reason than they couldn't let him die. Bulletproof was a superior badass in a group of badasses.
To add to this, this show was on at a time where "black" was interchangeable with "gang member" and here we have a role model not only refusing to be a part of that, but being on the opposite side of the law. He was one of the very few positive role models for black kids that earned his stripes.
