Tarantino vs. The Hateful State

That’s not very surprising given the cops often act like a gang. They have their own outfits, guns, internal cultures, and they issue threats (physical or economic) to those who disagree. They exaggerate the rhetoric of anyone who even mildly criticizes them. And of course, they have ways of “taking care” of people who disobey them. But unlike gangs, they also have an air of legitimacy around them. Hence their ability to kill people and often get off either entirely unscathed or at least much easier than normal individuals would.
