    Police officers always seem to align with the interests of the capitalist (Epstein) class. What is it about that job that attracts so many people with contempt for the working class?

      The rich give the violent dullards and chest-thumpers the imprint of honorability.

      The average cop imagines himself a Knight Protector of the Realm when he is, odds on, Barney Fife with a spouse who flinches.

      I’m stealing the phrase ‘Epstein class’, that’s a great way of explaining how horrific the rich and powerful are

        I didn’t coin the term.

        Epstein class perfectly describes how they see themselves above laws and human decency. The world should never allow people to amass that much wealth.

      Acab, obviously.

      But do you seriously not understand why cops follow orders from politicians and not citizens?

      We just ignored the part where we cared about who our politicians were.
