"For for Kids" video...
I do not think it is propaganda because it is not necessarily persuading viewers to do
anything. I see the video as device that makes light of the unfortunate situations that
continually occur in society between the law/authorities and African Americans for
whatever reason. The show "Cops" does not only affect African Americans, but a large
number of the people being arrested/chased/cuffed are African American. So for these
reasons, I'm not sure they are trying to persuade viewer of anything by making the faces
into cartoon characters. However, one vague possibility would be that they are showing
how brutal these chases can be until the point that they are funny. I think it went viral
for reasons stated in the previous sentence. The collection actions of law enforcement
and the subjects is almost too much to be true and disturbingly funny to someone who
isn't affected by any of the actions.
