Advanced Criminal Justice, Monday, Period 3

"Technically speaking, vigilantism is illegal in most places," Batman said. "And it's very easy to anger the police who might think you're showing them up. That's why it pays to have some friends among the local authorities."

"When I started my war on crime, Gotham City had plenty of corruption in the system. I found the most decent cop I knew, showed him that all I wanted was to help, and that started a fruitful relationship. Now he's the police commissioner and he specifically calls me in on cases he thinks could use some outside help."

"I happened to be familiar with a case this man worked when he was a beat cop. When I became the Batman, I decided to follow his career and make sure he was still the man I knew. My investigation showed nothing remotely sketchy and some creativity. If anyone could see the benefit of working with someone outside the basic structure of the law who was determined not to break more rules than he needed, it was him."

"This week you're going to do this on a small scale," Batman explained. "Find people in this class you don't know that well yet. Talk to them and figure out whether or not you think you can trust them as a close ally in a world where you'll need a few. We'll review your choices next week."

Re: Find Allies

Evan was still a bit exhausted after unicorn rescuing and all, but he was always up for trying to make allies in the battle for justice.

Or... something like that.

He was doing his best to look approachable, at least, while he looked around at his classmates.
