Over the years, Ive heard a fair number of slurs shouted at campus cops. Seldom were the

y "pig" or "fascist." Far more often, they diminished the power of the officer, using words like "fake cop" or "rent-a-cop". This is which the power and class dynamics【M1】______ get tricky. They are real cops. Employing by California, they are【M2】______ agents of the state. Theyve got weapons. And the payment is not【M3】______ bad at all. On the other hand, campus police at U.C. Berkeley and U.C. Davis, patrol kids whod call them failures if they grew up to be【M4】______ cops; kids who have more opportunities than the children of the campus cops; kids who will most be more successful than campus【M5】______ cops; kids who even enjoy the ultimate loyalty of U.C. faculty and most administrators. Just look at what happened before U.C.【M6】______ Berkeley administrators sent in cops with batons, and U.C. Davis administrators sent in cops with pepper spray. Predictive quarrels【M7】______ occurred. Batons and pepper spray were used. Images leaked. And suddenly administrators were launching investigations! And【M8】______ issuing statements about how deeply they cared for the students! Did they fail to anticipate that the weapons would be turned on passive protesters？ They d do well to read " Shooting an Elephant," George Orwells reflection on his time as a British imperial police officer in Burma, if so. To be clear, I dont think imperialism is an apt analogy when police forcibly remove from Occupy Cal or Davis【M9】______ protesters. And I do think Orwell helps us understand why officers【M10】______ who arent monsters might use wildly excessive force.
