Omar doesn't fit as easily into the mold, but you can see ways in which his amoral characterization establish his roles in the criminal and LEO institutions: he's an opportunist, stealing from those who can't go to the police to report crime.
He's his own institution, but he isn't above his own drives for vengeance and thrill: later seasons characterize him as depressed by his own infamy, driving him to seek out new criminal targets to keep the heat up.

Omar would also realistically fizzle out. He would either get killed or end up killing innocents by accident. There's only so many times intimidation works without serious incidents.
