In my view, it seems unlikely that the University Police’s anti-drug efforts are targeting students with a particular political viewpoint.

The viewpoint is Manichaean--black and white, if you will--but with a twist. Haggis says not that there are good people and bad people, but that we are all capable of being both. A racist cop (Oscar nominee Matt Dillon) can rudely grope a terrified black woman (Thandie Newton) one night...
