    Hahahaha…sorry, a bit callous. Bad cops take power through all kinds of abuse and ganging up to bully good cops. Good cops have to deal with having empathy and the desire to avoid violence and the like so they have a harder time and the population themselves vote for center or right-wing candidates that install corrupt officials into high offices.

    It’s not desireable for the people but for cops and the owner class it works out pretty fucking well. It doesn’t even work well to deal with crime but since most of that crime ends up being poor-on-poor the owner class still doesn’t give a shit. They get an army of morally bankrupt thugs and their neighbourhoods and crimes get protected so what do they care in the end?

    I do not mean to insult but your comment reads like my dad voting conservative to lower taxes on the rich because he actually believes in trickle-down economics. He genuinely thinks CEOs and shareholders care about him, which is nice in a “oh he’s sweet but kinda stupid” sorta way. These people don’t care about what’s best for everyone, they care about what is best for them and as long as the system doesn’t fully crumble within their lifetimes they could not give a fuck.
