The lady cop on the park bench pretty clearly asked him to show her "how he plays with the chicks".

Exactly, he was not entrapped. When a woman says "stop" or "no" the man has to stop. He approached her and when she told him to stop and he did not it became assault.
People who love to say a man was entrapped or set up need to remember, a man can always walk away or stop. -

Honestly I thought the same thing. The women instigated it. Now he was not trying to rape her either. She was acting willing and he just liked it rough. That's not excusing the act but rather saying he was set up like a mother beep

Ajax is clearly represented as stupid and psychotic throughout the story. He may or may not have been entrapped but I'm intrigued by this post. When did Swan admit he had made a mistake in letting Ajax wander off by himself?

It would still legally count as entrapment, cause a cop is not allowed to manipulate a person into assaulting them, then making an arrest.
It would still fall under entrapment laws, and Ajax would most likely go free. -

I disagree with that assessment, michaeluk26. I think that Ajax was the one who institated it. Ajax set himself up when he wanted to go "get some exercise", despite the fact that his fellow Warriors gang members told him that he should wait, that there were plenty of women back home in Coney Island.
When Ajax tried to have sex with the woman on the bench, he had absolutely no idea that she was a cop. He was surprised and angry when he got arrested. Ajax, imho, acted
very
stupidly, and he
deserved
to get into trouble and get arrested for his actions and behaviors.. -

She was a lure for a serial rapist that had been attacking women in that park.
So when Ajax starts getting rough she bags him for being the guy they are after. -

The dialogue between them makes it very clear that, though the woman consented to sex, Ajax didn't
want
consensual sex; what he wanted was to rape her, to hurt her. His fate is entirely his own fault, and completely deserved.
(FWIW, incidentally, I always assumed Ajax was a deeply-closeted, self-loathing gay man, and that his brutal treatment of the policewoman was an attempt to reaffirm his sense of his own masculinity - notice how awkward and nervous he is with her before he regains his confidence by getting violent.)
