Police Ethics (Revised Printing): The Corruption of Noble Cause

Police Ethics: The Corruption of Noble Cause provides an examination of noble cause, how it emerges as a fundamental principle of police ethics, and how it can provide the basis for corruption. The noble cause -- a commitment to "doing something about bad people" -- is a central "ends-based" police ethic that is corrupted when officers violate the law on behalf of personally held moral values. This book is about the power that police use to do their work and how it can corrupt at the individual and organizational levels. The material provides students of policing with a realistic understanding of the kinds of problems they will confront in the practice of police work.



Key terms supplement each chapter.

Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (Articles) – France:

(1) Men are born free and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions can be based only on public utility; (2) The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression…(4) Liberty consists in the power to do anything that does not injure others; accordingly, the exercise of the rights of each man has no limits except those that secure the enjoyment of these same rights to the other members of society. These limits can be determined only by law…(6) Law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to take part personally, or by their representatives, and its formation. It must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All citizens, being equal in its eyes, art equally eligible to all public dignities, places, and employments, according to their capacities, and without other distinction than that of their virtues and talents…(10) No one should be disturbed on account of his opinions, even religious, provided their manifestation does not upset the public order established by law; (11) The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man; every citizen can then freely speak, write, and print, subject to responsibility for the abuse of this freedom in the cases is determined by law…(17) Property being a sacred to and inviolable right, no one can be deprived of it, unless illegally established public necessity evidently demands it, under the condition of a just and prior indemnity.

In God We Trust

The robot faux-Maria has been instructed to foment a rebellion in the post production grotto, giving Fredersen an excuse for the biggest and bloodiest purge in This Town since the corporations bought up the studios. But faux-Maria is far more evil than thought, and leads the workers straight to the very important and semiotically essential Heart Machine, which is duly trashed. Freder, who has regained his sanity and his backlight, and Grot, the bumptious key grip, try to help an IATSE shop steward and two ragtag guards from studio security protect the equipment, but it's no use.

When the mob kills the main sync bus, the whole place goes down, which cuts all electric power to the Great City above. The rich types, who have been lapsing ever further into perdition since faux-Maria did that hootchy-koo Salome number in the club, dance their way through the Apocalypse, while the city dies around them. Maybe the band plays Nearer My God to Thee and maybe it doesn't... it's a silent movie.

If you're lucky, you'll be watching the print where Freder springs Maria and they are able to rescue the children just as the pumps fail, sinking the post production grotto deeper than anything Katrina was able to do.

If you're lucky, there'll be a crosscut to the workers, who are told their children have drowned. They don't like this at all. They spurn faux-Maria as a False Prophet and, as befits a story that is basically Western Christian semiology on steroids, burn her at the stake. You don't piss off engineers.

Fortunately for everyone, faux-Maria's skin melts off in the fire, and everyone is able to see that she's second-hand Magnasync iron all the way.

If you're lucky, and didn't get the wretched Paramount cut they showed in the US originally, there'll now be quite the climactic cliff-hanging battle between Freder and Rotwang, high atop (what else?) a huge cathedral. Rotwang is dispatched. He's dead, Jim.

Real-Maria is saved. She's able to unify the above the line and below the line people, which is more than anyone else in The Industry has ever managed to do. Freder, who as we know is Heart, gets his dad (Mind/ AMPTP) to shake on the deal with Grot (Hands/ IATSE/ NABET/ SAG/ AFTRA). Maria's prophecy is fulfilled. The Marxian class struggle is over. The Thesis and Antithesis have reached a final Synthesis - the Absolute. Mankind is redeemed, at least for 73 years until the US Supreme Court picks the wrong president, the middle class gets a big one right where the sun don't shine, and the whole dialectical groove-thang starts all over again... but that's another movie...

A title card indicates that, yes, only Heart can bring together Mind and Hands. With that, MUSIC UP and we

FADE OUT

I hope you enjoyed smpte week.
