Sorry I wasn't able to post this one early for you all, I bit off a bit more than I could chew on this one in terms of the launch date I set and I literally juuuust finished it. I'll have some nice patron-only content for you this week though :)

I do really love what you said about police unions are the fist of the ruling class vs. labor unions that represent workers challenging capitalism and the ruling class. That was spot on. The P.I. angle of Rosa reinforces the privatization of policing and surveillance. That fits right in with a neoliberal response that says privatization means more freedom, but less public accountability because she doesn't have to answer to anyone. And Jake getting a 5-month suspension likely means he's still paid for five months. That's still more money in policing. And if he live in Brooklyn, that's a lot of money.

Those are all damn good points. The whole squad really should have become fire fighters....

Or EMS workers, or landscape architects, or art and music teachers...So many government jobs that make people more full, well-rounded, capable, and ultimately feel safe and loved.

I think you're totally right about the idea of privatization of policing/surveillance and it's something I've struggled with while thinking about private investigators, both in this show and in Veronica Mars, where they are presented as an alternative to the police although with potentially even less oversight. The fact is that because of police unions, we rarely see oversight for the police either though, so it's kind of a lose-lose scenario. For the purposes of making a statement in media though, I think that was a missed opportunity to say "hey the police are broken fundamentally." Jake's suspension is laughably inconsequential, it's impressively dumb, both in that it would never happen and because it solves exactly no issues. David Duke Marzipan is still on the force! Finally, I totally agree, where is the love for so many other government jobs that are important and actually prevent crime rather than react to it? Those jobs aren't as sexy but they are more meaningful. Although fire fighters are pretty sexy....

you sure may! i'm posting it momentarily
