Barry hasn't been a government man in quite a while. I think it's best to judge people by their actions and their statements. Barry's actions and statements have been consistent for quite a while now. While he was a cop, of course, he was grossly inconsistent, as he himself readily admits.

I've slightly disagreed with Barry on strategy and tactics before, but not on his stated goals. I consider him to be a purely benevolent person. I think if you fully explore his many offerings on the web, you'll come to a similar conclusion, but I could be wrong.

And, of course, this comment comes with the caveat that nobody should ever be fully trusted, because all cybernetic systems are capable of dishonesty and capturing nodes in less-powerful systems.

That said, I've never seen Barry act like a Fed.
