Say the police chief comes before the Duke. Which way will positive or negative reps work on him?

Frequently such a person's Reputation won't even apply to a person beyond their power because the Duke or whoever isn't a member of the affected group. Usually an abusive police chief would have a negative with "Lower class of Snootyville" or "People of Miseryville". He may have a separate positive reputation with "Upperclass of Snootyville". If the Duke actually lives in Miseryville and is included then his reaction to the cop depends on whether he's personally a Bully. If he isn't then he will probably react at a minus because he's been getting all these complaints and doesn't like it.
