00:00What if you were a modern cop in ancient Greece?
00:02Day 1. You show up in Athens with a badge, handcuffs, and a body cam.
00:07There's no police station. Law enforcement is 300 Scythian slaves with ropes.
00:11You say you're here to serve and protect. They ask who sent you.
00:14Day 2. A fight breaks out. You yell,
00:17Stop resisting! Nobody knows what that means.
00:19A Scythian ties the man up with rope in three seconds and looks at your handcuffs like they're a toy.
00:25Day 3. A man is living in a barrel in the middle of the city.
00:29You go to evict him. That's Diogenes.
00:31There's no law against living in a barrel.
00:33He tells you to move because you're blocking his sunlight.
00:36Day 4. You try to arrest a thief. A baker already tackled him before you got there.
00:41You show your badge. He's never seen a badge. He goes back to baking.
00:45Day 5. Socrates walks up to you, stares at your badge.
00:49You protect the laws. But what if the laws are wrong?
00:52You say that's not your problem. Then whose problem is it?
00:55You feel like handcuffing him to his own Day 6.
00:57Alexander the Great rides in with 10,000 soldiers.
01:01You say, you can't park an army here.
01:03He's 20 and has conquered half the world.
01:05He parks wherever he wants.
