I am not so foolish as to prescribe a mandatory reading list of Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Deleuze, Foucault, and Derrida for police training, though it would not hurt (their victims). But once the police started reading or knowing what they were doing, or whom they were representing and why, they would no longer be the police, the phantom index to which Benjamin's argument pointed us. At the very least they would be, as readers, essentially detectives (and only essentially): those loners who, resisting group formation, sometimes have to turn in their badges or cross an ethicolegal line in order to investigate, piece together, read, and scour unconscious densities of meaning. It's not a pretty job, and it's generally managed according to a different time clock than that which the police regularly punches.
