When the bodies of two Black men were found sitting with a crackpipe in a parked car in a rundown section of town in 1994, it seemed just another day in Kansas City, Kansas.

Il Servizio d'ordine si identifica quindi come il braccio armato che coordina e protegge studenti e operai scesi in piazza, i rivoluzionari, i ribelli, i sognatori.
