Wanted Hip Cops

The wanted poster of Hip Cops is very interesting. For a group of people who had many disagreements with police it is interesting to see that they have discovered the best way to accomplish change is not necessarily through unrest, but to join the group and change it from the inside. The poster also has a picture of a long haired bearded police officer, something that was most likely against regulations at the time. This suggests that those people who look like hippies should apply, even stating that the ACLU will back the person if they think they were not hired because of prejudice. It is interesting that the poster does not comment on the age requirements and the height requirements or that two years of college are needed. None of which are requirements to join the police force today. You would they would fight for the right of the short person, or the fat person, even the old person. It seems that they have missed out on other physical aspects that can create predjudice, focusing solely on race and hair length
