Cops

Buster’s film Cops (1922) is about a man who can not win, even though his intentions are good. The character is pursued by hundreds of policemen!
Perhaps this film is Keaton’s response to friend Fatty Arbuckle’s woes. Arbuckle was undergoing a third trial for manslaughter when this short was filmed. Audiences were apparently laughing too hard to let the terrorist bomb sequence bother them, although just two years earlier, 30 people were killed by an anarchist’s bomb on Wall Street.
Cops was written and directed by Edward F. Cline and Muskegon’s own Buster Keaton.
