As of this writing, seven bills are pending in the U.S. Congress to regulate violence on television. On the streets of Harlem, activists protest against the outlaw manners flaunted in rap videos. In his 1990 study Behind the Mask of Innocence, film historian Kevin Brownlow cites a list of one month's excisions, the application of the third degree by police, the bribing of a policeman, brutal handling of prisoners by police etc. The movie producers chose self-censorship mostly to avoid a multiplicity of imposed censorship, with all their trouble and expense.
