Thinking about how baked in to the folk story (Leave it to Beaver! Andy Griffin...) of a child having a "talking to" with a wise stern reasonable police officer are parallel lessons:

* Power structures must be respected, but ultimately will recognize your humanity.
* The law is good and the police are good, an extension of adults who give you firm boundaries because they love and value you.
* You belong in this community and power structures will guide & support you.
