In "West Side Story," the Jets dislike Officer Krupke because they see him as a symbol of authority and oppression. They feel misunderstood and marginalized by society, and Krupke represents the law that enforces their exclusion. The Jets believe he doesn't understand their struggles and instead treats them as delinquents, leading to resentment and rebellion against his authority. This dynamic highlights the broader themes of societal conflict and the search for identity within the musical.
