I’m a part-time grad student writing a paper for a Consumer Behavior class on “The Effect of Social Class on Marketing the New York City Police Department.” Any thoughts?

The police are very special people. Contact with them is where the ‘average’ citizen meets the power of the state. The police officer usually has a gun and a right to use it if he or she deems it necessary, while ‘resisting arrest’ is a crime as far as the citizen is concerned. The system decides who will be police officers, how they will be trained, disciplined, rewarded, punished, etc. Thus, how police treat different people is a good way of telling who has power, who does not have power, etc.

Police power is not limited to the streets. Are the folks who complain most about the power of local police power also the ones who vote in EVERY election? Do they stay informed about current events, and, as Barney Fife would say, Nip It in the Bud? Or, do they voice no opinion at the voting booth until the power of government focuses on them and proceeds to nibble on their fundamental orifice?
