*kop*
%	The Kops are a brilliant concept.  To take a gaggle of inept
%	policemen and display them over and over again in a series of
%	riotously funny physical punishments plays equally well to the
%	peanut gallery and the expensive box seats.  People hate cops.
%	Even people who have never had anything to do with cops hate
%	them.  Of course, we count on them to keep order and to protect
%	us when we need protecting, and we love them on television shows
%	in which they have nerves of steel and hearts of gold, but in
%	the abstract, as a nation, collectively we hate them.  They are
%	too much like high school principals.  We're very happy to see
%	their pants fall down, and they look good to us with pie on
%	their faces.  The Keystone Kops turn up--and they get punished
%	for it, as they crash into each other, fall down, and suffer
%	indignity after indignity.  Here is pure movie satisfaction.
%
%	The Kops are very skillfully presented.  The comic originality
%	and timing in one of their chase scenes requires imagination
%	to think up, talent to execute, understanding of the medium,
%	and, of course, raw courage to perform.  The Kops are madmen
%	presented as incompetents, and they're madmen rushing around
%	in modern machines.  What's more, the machines they were operating
%	in their routines were newly invented and not yet experienced
%	by the average moviegoer.  (In the early days of automobiles,
%	it was reported that there were only two cars registered in all
%	of Kansas City, and they ran into each other.  There is both
%	poetry and philosophy in this fact, but most of all, there is
%	humor.  Sennett got the humor.)
