    Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that these police probably suffer as much as the people they are oppressing?

      We cannot have a tiny number of very rich elite without a very large number of working class serving the interests of those rich elite rather than their own.

      Severity varies. Some are class traitors, some just need that paycheck.

      I don’t think that’s logically a possibility? Not unless the police also have a group of thugs that can assault them without consequence.

      Being a lapdog of the capital class has its benefits. The police have some of the strongest unions in the nation and are way way overcompensated for their level of training and education.

        Well I meant that they are closer to us than the oligarchy. Their wives work there. They pay more for shipping. That sort of thing.
