Write an approximately 1500 word essay that helps your reader understand how Policing the Police uses the persuasive strategies we’ve read about and talked about in class to make its argument.

Your final essay should be an example of critical thinking at work. Rather than responding as a passive consumer of the film’s argument, you’ll be an active, thoughtful, and skeptical commentator on the rhetorical strategies it uses. Ultimately, you might agree or disagree with the film—which “side” you take is not necessarily important or even relevant—but in any case your essay will enable your readers to see how the essay is a deliberate construction that advances a specific perspective for a particular audience.
