Notes: Honestly, this vid is more catharsis for me than anything else. I can't help 'shipping Steve and Danny, but I really resent the show for making it impossible for me to love them guilt-free, and for making me feel so ashamed about liking the parts that I like. So I felt like I had to at least register my objections in some way, however weak the effort may be, in between all the devouring of Steve/Danny first-time fic. IDEK.

Amazing, amazing vid. I knew the brutality and civil rights violations were a huge problem, but it's quite stunning to see it all arrayed like that. I love that you made it a true ensemble piece, and really emphasized that they are agents of law enforcement with the full backing of the state. I'm totally with you on the cycle of glee and shame. :/

Thank you so much! Yes, it's the fact that they're official that I find so grating - I can't pretend, even in escapist fiction, that it's okay for cops to abuse suspects and witnesses that way. And it just leaves such a sour note every time I watch the show, although there were fewer incidents in the later episodes - my fingers are crossed that it will continue to improve.
