Why does the Ice Man still go to work?
He's been the drug kingpin since before the first movie and he still shows up everyday to be a cop? What's the point of being a rich drug kingpin if you still have to have a day job?

Why does the Ice Man still go to work?
So you can keep tabs on your employees, and arrest the competition.
The way i see it, every successful drug dealer in America(who is an American) should always have a legit job to cover his or her tracks as a dealer. The Ice Man had a perfect job to lay his tracks: A cop. He could clear all the red tape that lead to his existence/profession as a cop, which he did in the movie. I never in a million years would've guessed who it was. Also true about keeping tabs on your players and arresting the competiting dealers.
One thing still puzzles me about the 1st movie. If the Ice Man was that particular cop, why wasn't his character introduced in the 1st 48 hrs.? I figured if Ganz and Reggie stole his money, and he was that pissed about it, he would've tried to take out Reggie and Ganz while Ganz was at large and Reggie was out of jail with Jack. He decided to wait until Reggie was on parol for real, and then his contract was declared active i guess.
I also couldn't figure out why Cherry Ganz(Ganz's brother) wanted to kill the Ice Man in the end of the 2nd movie. He had no beef with him. Hell, he even agreed to kill Reggie for the Ice Man, who just happened to be the man who wanted his brother dead as well. I guess Cherry was just a complete nutball with no sense of mercy or reasoning. Reggie was a tough guy, but i still couldn't figure out why he wanted to get away from Jack. If it was because of the money, i'd say screw it, a dangerous prick has put a contract on my head! If i knew a powerful dude like the Ice Man wanted me dead, there would be no way i'd be able to live a normal life without worrying he would find me wherever i was. I'm not tough or brave, nor do i know how to use a gun, but if someone wanted me or those i loved dead, i would find him and kill him first if i could.

The Iceman killed one of their own members during the course of the movie. It seems these bikers have a strong honour rule (unexpected for a bunch of low life thugs) whereby if one of their own is killed, they take revenge.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Yes! That biker dude William Price was murdered by The Ice Man. He was friends with Ganz and the other biker. Remember the first scene of the movie, at the bar, where they blow away those two sheriff's deputies? They all were there. Price shot the bartender when he was about to call police.
