The ambiguity Braun finds in justice is similar to the ambiguity Bhabha and Saar found in twilight. His question of whether there is truth in Koon and Powell’s guilty verdicts, or in “the society / that has to find them /guilty in order to protect itself” grapples with the meaning and function of justice in American society. What justice is served by convicting two men for a broader systemic problem? Braun implies that Koon and Powell’s conviction is merely a symbol the justice system pulls out to calm the masses and distract the public from the real “truth,” which is that very little will actually be done to ensure that the city’s racial tensions and police corruption is actually dealt with.
