The Rookie Cop

The NBA is an amazing thing - but what team tops the rest in the league. There are a few good contenders like Michael Jordan’s 1995 Chicago Bulls but a lot of people think it’s the 2017 golden state warriors.

The violent nature of the riots were based around the race, class, and religion of the residents of the banlieues and their anger at the treatment they received. Violence in La Haine and Balibar’s article are similar. La Haine showed the police being antagonistic towards the main characters, much like they were during the real riots. The police would target the youth who did not go to school or were done for the day. Also, with no jobs

I decided to wear an actual uniform, a symbol of authority and protection, but to investigators it is a symbol of a “Rookie” or someone just not smart enough to move up.

FILM SYNOPSIS: In Crash, a simple car accident forms an uncompromising foundation for the complex discovery of race and prejudice. Paul Haggis' overwhelming and incredibly thought provoking directorial debut succeeds in bringing to the forefront the behaviours that many people keep under their skin.
