Yeah, when I saw it in the theatre in '84 (?), I remember we all laughed at the idea of Schwarzenegger as able to come in to a place and not be instantly made. And I thought stealing a homeless guy's pants was kind of awful, but the response was so obviously overkill--because "young homeless man! he must be criminal!"
I was always struck with how, as many serious faults as Cameron has, he nailed it when he said of T2 that he made him a cop because if you're not cop, you're little people. After years of watching the police become military during the '80s, I think we were all feeling that, those of us who were the little people.
