The archetypical TV hero lawmen were Marshall Dillon and Joe Friday. Never lied, cheated or broke the rules. When's the last time you saw those guys?
Anti-heroes generally do not have ideals or morality or even courage. They do what they want for themselves, whether it be right or wrong. If it's right, they generally profit. If it's wrong they get away with it.
I never watched Dragnet so I cannot comment on Joe Friday, but I have watched Gunsmoke. I don't consider Matt Dillon a hero. He's a lawman and follows the law. I think he's a good man but being a lawman doesn't make him heroic.
Clint Eastwood as the man with no name is a great example of an anti-hero.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
