Is Mike's constant forgiveness to players like Pacman really good in any way?

It certainly doesn't help the team or the perception of it or the city. But I'd also argue that it doesn't help the person he's being lenient with.

Sometimes people need a wake up call.

In the long run, it can't be good for him.  It just prolongs the inevitable fall that a self destructive dude has waiting for him.  And usually, it takes a big fall to wake a guy like Ten Chances up.  He's headed for a bad end and Mike just keeps greasing the wheels.
