The outsized response of the state to, on one hand, vilify the man suspected of killing a health insurance CEO, and on the other, repress a workers’ strike against Amazon, has shed light on solidarity among the ruling class
I don’t agree with their conclusion. It’s true that the murder of a CEO would get more police attention than the murder of an ordinary person even in less unusual circumstances, but this particular case is extraordinary not because the victim was a CEO but because so many people support the murder.
Murders of abortion doctors were similar ideologically-motivated attacks against someone hated by a large part of the public, except that abortion doctors aren’t members of the elite. These murders were still quite a big deal and received a lot of attention on the national level.
Yep. Anyone pretending the cops aren’t going to have more leads for a shooting like Luigi’s compared to a random drive-by and acting like it’s proof the cops are negligent/malicious is either a child or childish.
Plenty of reason to sling shit at cops, but this ain’t one.
