very banksy-esque. what bugs me about this piece is that it kinda looks like a desirable consensual sex act. Ive known alot of people and women that like the idea of being spanked (although in this piece its not quite erotic spanking, using a billy club for that purpose isnt the norm or desired by many with that kink in my experience).

Maybe thats part of it tho, that figures in law enforcement and figures in politics actually get off to the submission to authority. like a politician bribing police, they are getting a personal benefit(kinky pleasure) from the miscarriage of justice(being spanked/beaten by police). In that case, this lady liberty is representing corruption, justice figures that 'get off' on submitting to authority. Im not crazy about that interpretation either because it equates a kink sex act with corruption

submission to authority can happen just by police being violent, or by corrupt public figures desire for authority. either way i personally view consensual kink sex as positive and a poor analogy for corruption or police violence
