I would say the pirates in any pirate film first. They're not heroic characters going for freedom. Pirates were murderers, rapists and thieves. I'd also add the Joker, especially Joequin Phoenix. Do we need reminding that he is a criminal? And then there's Scarface.

News for example, believing everything is true. This one I hate for reasons but the stereotype about cops shooting instantly seems to have come from news. Sure they may but I also see something in their hand as well from the video footage. Now don't get me wrong there are some bad cops but most of them aren't.

The guys in the first Fast and the Furious film/ We meet them stealing from trucks, making them thieves, and a trucker shoots at them to defend, you know, his stuff. We're meant to support them.
In other film they drag a huge safe through I think Rio and do huge damage to everything but it's OK because they're heroes. The same thieves.

I was hoping to keep the answers here 'Which movie heroes are really actually criminals?' But Bored Panda edited my question. Movie protagonists that are actually jerks/villians/thieves etc.
