Eveybody was calling him rookie and he showed throughout the movie he was inexperienced.

That undercover stuff makes no sense and at no point in the movie does it imply he was undercover.

He was undercover 
You know what's funny, it took me forever to realize Roger was an ex-cop.
This is somewhat relevant but I remember watching this, Zoolander, Gladiator and Meet the Parents in like a two week span when I was really sick as a freshmen in high school. They had all come out within the same year. Early era of DVD's

Yep. Roger was an ex-cop turned drug dealer. It took me a while to catch on. When he referenced the "pension" shyt I always assumed he was referring to the money under his kitchen floor. Lol. But nope.Wait..what

I'm thinking Roger is probably the one that corrupted Alonzo.

is it true that the real life alonzo had some connection to death row as a crooked cop?
He's loosely based off Rafael Perez. There's rumors Perez was connected to Death Row but they never been substantiated. Reggie White Jr. who was with Death Row from 1995 and on, says he never seen Rafael Perez ever. Said the rumors of him being around Death Row is cap. But he was 100% a crooked cop and ended up doing time for stealing cocaine from evidence room.

Roger wasn't a cop. It's a good performance by Scott Glenn, but he doesn't really come across like a heavy hitter dope boy, it's all a little too neat, it's not even that he's white, and older, it's just doesn't feel right. Lacks the grit and menace of the gangsters, probably because they weren't actors.
The tell is when Alonzo says something like "I am cashing in one of my accounts, my first one", and again "I watched him operate for years with impunity and now I got him", "Roger sold dope to kids"
The pension thing is, he's saying they want too much. They are getting greedy. He's fine with paying them off, as he has been doing, but taking his bankroll is unacceptable. If they were saying he was an ex cop, the screenplay didn't point that way much.
