The Black Cop

7/17/2024

This is quite an interesting painted piece-to-camera that introduces us to a black British man who was fostered/farmed out at a very young age, then reclaimed by an indifferent father and taken to London where he swiftly learned the protective values of self deprecation. He sets his sights on the police as a career, and again his well honed natural ability to conform and fit in initially serves him well as he becomes a sort of poster-boy for London's Metropolitan Police force. It's this aspect of his career that leads to the posing of his biggest career and life challenge and also, ultimately, offers him a chance to face his other demon - he is also gay - and to not only be who is his, but to also inspire others from any minority, colour, creed or sexuality to be who they are too.
