This is just one of the latest ads being posted around london
by the metropolitan police
but as i walked away from this ad it started to trouble me
that i know straight away this a poor analysis actually it is not even an analysis
but a dimwitted view
but is this the view of these law enforces the actually deductive reasoning that goes on under their chequered hats
you can see the advert is broken into parts you start with the colour coded description
separating a whole set of words visually from another
then you have the pictorial arrow signalling what the person is doing
and then then there is the telling of the story
first is the reasoning in the persons head so simplistic
so criminals are simplistic who do this or this particular criminal in inverted commas is
it is not made clear
so then the person is talking to whom we don't know
unless it is someone speaking through the persona of a criminal
that they proceed to then to show you where and what they are gonna do
But it is not the buffoonery simplistic slap stick failed stance of either being analysis or different perspective that really got me
or that the very people who deal with these people day in and day out
would back this ad
which begs the question are they all force no mental function
but that they summed down a person and their thoughts into a cardboard caricature of what a person or people and environments really are
In the all out attempt to demonise someone and make it a thieves vs victims scenario it brings more questions than it professedly was meant to address
like why is it easy money
why do they think of it as easy money
is the stolen phone market a profitable one
Since it is an ad meant for the victim why do they spend more time on a looney toon type of
scenario on the thieves side than the victims
So what is the lesson you are meant to get from this
a poor look into the psyche of the person deemed thief
But expanding on some questions i have stated and perhaps i have not
what is the idea behind easy money
are we saying easy money is wrong or just this case
or that a conceptual idea is in society about easy money and some will and some will not act on it
for example the lottery or gambling
and how do people look at people who are avid supporters of gambling or the lottery
compared to the institutions of supposed easy money such as casinos and betting shops
especially in my area of forest gate the insane rise of betting shops for some has been alarming
walking on woodgrange road before you get to the station you past 5
when going back ten years there was one
Also the adage of easy changes the statement
from easy money will promote thoughts
of get a job and ideas of class types
but if you said they see money
you would sympathise to an extent not just villanise
Also why do these people see it as money there must be institutions in place
who profit of these people trading in phones for money
but i guess these people pay tax on that money and thieves in inverted commas
do not
Seeing this mockery of an insight into this persons head you see no evidence of ill will
from the person towards the victim
but a sense of ill will is attempted to be produced from the advert
as i said before about the adage
if people were stealing for just money
it begs the question
why do they not have money
are people not hiring them are jobs not being afforded to them
are they part of the disenfranchised
are their lower rungs of society we do not see or want to see
but the word easy changes the mental image you will concoct of the person
that they are lazy villainous if it were a movie he has a goatee or a weird accent and an evil name
I previously talked about classes and where we stand in regards to others
it seems adverts by law enforcement would have us stand on opposing sides then try to demolish a fence between people
as i said it is a caricature of a person because it tries to water down the need to making it a want
so if we are dealing with humans not proposed stereotypes
do you enter into this scenario and go oh easy money
describe to yourself what you are going to do
then start doing it
for just a bit of pocket change
if you were going to go down that route was because you needed money
and its funny how the story does not start from the beginning
and does not finish but is just a cut out section
for with this easy money supposedly where do they go from there
what type of residency do they go to that night
how much money do they have in their pocket
Simple things are rarely simple and we should look twice when something seems too simple
maybe we can go away and think or pick out something
that is positioned to us as simple
and see if it is still after scrutiny
