In 1890, Judge ran this blistering satire of New York’s so-called “law and order” institutions. The cartoon tears into the Police Department and District Attorney’s Office—showing bribery, stolen-goods rings, and corruption piled so high it can’t be ignored. A press investigator arrives to document the mess, while politicians scramble to avoid accountability.
This vintage illustration exposes the same rot we continue fighting today—selective prosecution, politicized policing, and the corruption that authoritarian movements depend on.
