No but lemmy is full of folks who only see police as an agent of class war who’s core action is to extract money from citizens while abusing their autonomy.
The police are enforcers of the law. When was the last time a law was drafted and enacted by the poor? And why is it that the well connected and rich seem to play by different laws.
I like, that im Finland, traffic fines are based on your income, so that if your poor, it stings but if your rich, it’ll also sting. The largest fine for speeding was over 120k Euros.
Again I’m just playing the role here but they’d reply:
"Yes, I was forced into a car based, capitalist system by birth and shouldnt have had to drive for coffee. The road was engineered to encourage speeding and cops are part of the system. Their giving me a ticket is just wealth extraction from those forced to engage in a system they didn’t choose. "

No gray! Only black and white!

Hey you’re good
I agree with your statement that it’s not black or white. But there’s some severe misalignment of punishment going on from class to race.
Completely agree.

These are people who got a speeding ticket from that massive dick who had the gall to stop the person when they were LATE FOR GETTING COFFEE. GAWD!
…and now must anecdote the planet as to how evil that cop was.

Blech
Don’t forget that all police are direct descendants of slave catchers and we can get rid of all police with no consequences
