      Not the bonus panel we deserve, but the bonus panel we get.

      The true secret bonus panel is when the cop gets the bonus for the shooting.

    Cops serve the ruling class. It’s why they’re trying so hard to find the CEO killer.

      People with jobs serve their paycheck. People with authority let it go to their heads. Cops are the combination of the two.

    Why would I investigate my employer? A healthy chunk of that $15B in CEO salary works its way back into the hands of officers via lobbying for increased pay/benefits, kickbacks to police unions and sheriff’s society’s, and direct hiring for police “consultants” and overpaid rent-a-cops.

    If burglars want to enjoy these benefits, they need to get back to the old school way of doing business. Get. Mobbed. Up. You didn’t see Irish cops bothering the American wing of the IRA or Italian cops hassling the mafia. Burglars need to do the same thing as the rest of the working class and get organized. One stick is easily broken. A bundle is far sturdier.

    I know this is fiction

    because irl a cop would not reflect on his actions.

    He would just shoot & kill this man on the spot.

    Robbers are committing violent crime mostly against the working class.

    Cops should go after both robbers and robber barons.

    For the record, it’s specifically CEOs of S&P 500 companies that make an average of ~18 million/yr.

    https://aflcio.org/paywatch/highest-paid-ceos

    The Standard and Poor’s 500 is ~500 of the largest companies in the country that are publicly traded. It does not include the vast majority of CEO positions in the US, just the biggest.

    The machine works as intended.

    Robbers are (allowed to be) part of it so they can take the focus, all the fingerpointing, be the big bad wolf mascot.

    Some folks will rob you with a six gun, and some will rob you with a fountain pen.

    There would still be people who stole if we lived in a socialist paradise. And they would still want to be called boss.
