"My high school gym teacher was the most, uh, oppressive out-front personality it's ever been my misfortune."

The Policemen's Ball (Remix) is a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series Somewhere Out There. It was originally broadcast in 1996.

Synopsis

  • A guy talks about his high school gym teacher torturing a fat kid who later becomes a school sports enthusiast.
  • Panel discussion: understanding the value of life by saving or destroying life.
  • Actors: a man and woman (Steve Friedman and Denny Partridge)[1] overlook a riot during the policemen's ball, shoot at people. People robbing robbers.
  • Panel discussion: coexisting socialist and capitalist systems within one society.
  • Presentation: a private security force protects an animal research lab.
  • Panel discussion between critics and a security force proponent: modern security forces as city states, samurai, death squads. A modern secured house. The price of vigilance is freedom. Imprisoning oneself. A war between wealthy households.
  • Actors: A concert by a charity orchestra at the (fictional) Helmsley Hills Foundation - the orchestra plays horrible music, then the orchestra hall comes under siege and dissolves into chaos.
  • Panel discussion: The nature of theft, stealing and usurping property, the theft of a shiny stone.
  • Actors: The riot continues. Aiming for legs. A play about class revolution that costs $100 a ticket. A man watches television coverage of the riot beneath his window.
  • Actors: a DJ with a tinny voice set against percussive electronica reads poetry, urges the audience not to get shot, coughs and begins cawing like a bird.
  • Joe Frank relates a long list of his crimes (homicide, assassination, ...)
  • Panel discussion: a slick arsonist contrasted with an ordinary arsonist. Workplace theft. Traps and threats in everyday life - binoculars which stab the eyes, asphyxiating pillows, refrigerators that attack people, flesh eating socks. A list of criminals. Are we all criminals?
  • Actors: a woman lists things that she likes against the sound of battle and percussive music.
  • A man relates a long list of his crimes (embezzlement, theft, burglary, homicide, ...)
