    This isn’t relevant to our original conversation, but yes.

    Cops are class traitors that are essentially above the law. They issue fines that are a flat fee (rather than scaling % of wealth) so it only negatively impacts poor people.

    Cops also abuse their power with the public having little recourse. Did the cop shoot your dog for no reason? You could sue them, but the money won’t come from the asshole cop, it’ll come from taxpayers and the cop will get a paid vacation.
