hey guys, i need to find 2 texts about someone who abuses their authority or doesn't fit the stereotypical example of a authoritive figure. For example; In one piece where luffy as a pirate is the protagonist, however the marines are supposed to be the good guys/enforcer but they are the enemy and presented as the antagonist . (btw rebels aren't neccessary, i'm focusing on the authority, but with one usually comes the other.) i'm sure there are heaps so if you know any please post, i really need this and any help is appreciated, i also would prefer something that wouldnt take too long to read/watch and a short comic or something would be ideal. So, anybody know any texts (videos/cartoons/episodes/real life/short comics) about a corrupted judge/authority/policeman etc? (it can be serious, funny, fiction or non fiction etc) EDIT: P.S: I especially am after short comic or one of those cartoons you see in the newspaper (about authoritive figures, it even can be positive)

[/quote] oh yeah, i could write about how police are usually represented as always helping, enforcing the law and providing protection to those who need it but in reality don't, at least not to the extent which we assume. thanks! btw i have no idea what you're on about with the second link.. lol

LOL @ dirty policeman. *imagines fat sweating policeman stripping with donuts in one hand... * ..shudders thanks dimeside that could help btw guys, i know that there are plenty of movies but are there any texts like short stories or comics that you know of? (but not manga preferably) EDIT: @above, that's not even a legit website, but i've only seen a few of his movies anyways, i guess he's pretty much the opposite of the sterotype of whatever role he is playing.

What about the television series "The Shield?" That seems pretty corrupt to me.
