GOD'S JUSTICE: Officer Krupke makes you his Bitch

White people have an odd fantasy about the police. We've been putting this fantasy in our movies for decades, and it's FALSE. Officer Krupke was a fictional policeman who represented "the necessity of submission to (the) State’s fundamentally paternalistic administration." https://speedbird.wordpress.com/2015/09/20/gee-officer-krupke-a-close-reading-in-the-governmentality-literature/

Speaking as a White person, I have seen police corruption first-hand aiding and abetting everything from insurance fraud to false arrest and child abduction. Police officers and sheriffs abuse their power, becoming equal-opportunity offenders. They probably should not bring firearms to most of their calls. Plus, the higher-ups get paid too much and have WAY too much influence over the media, preventing victims from getting their stories told and getting justice. (If you want to reform law enforcement, we can start there.)

Ironically, the biggest source of police power over the populace is their ability to arrest and incarcerate citizens. Even racism in policing must ultimately submit to misogynistic themes that exist in both the Big House and in the homes of the officers themselves, where women and children often cower in terror with no recourse to any kind of justice. We'll even discuss why female officers are often compelled to act even worse than their male colleagues—because there would be severe consequences if they didn't! Tonight, I'm interviewing a former member of the force, whose custody over her son became collateral damage because she "knew too much." Call in.
