The growing paranoia of many police feeds on that of the Panthers.

The only breaches in the net of control over their lives are made by the absolutely desperate, who risk their lives on the chance of surviving. Yet these characters are no more deep or attractive than any others. One must endorse them only because fighting for control over one's life, fighting fascism, is the only human course of action.
