Agreed. Good luck convincing anyone though precisely for the reason that nothing has improved since the 70s:

The police exist to enforce the laws that drive the consumption economy, making sure that the rich are never inconvenienced by the poor

The police have never once in the history of policing served poor people when it violated the above principle.

In 100% of cases the police serve the governors who are “creating wealth.”

I have worked hand in hand with state local federal law enforcement and can’t count on one hand the badge holders I would trust with an egg.

One FBI agent I worked with for a year or so said the best part of his job was “being able to drive as fast I want anywhere with a bunch of guns in my unmarked car and nobody can do anything about it”

Don’t get me started on the difference in how I was treated by police as a teen when I was with my white mom vs my black dad.
