Yep. Cops don’t protect and serve the people. They protect and serve capital, i.e. corporations, the rich, oligarchs, etc.
I read cops were stopping people from fleeing the evacuation zone in Georgia’s chemical fire today
Wow, what heartless assholes these fascist pigs are.
I lived through a hurricane down in Texas. And because power was out for a week in my area, and I lived in an apartment, didn’t know how to prepare, and didn’t have many options, we did need supplies.
And there were more cops there to oversee the distribution than there were people distributing the FEMA aid.
If those cops had instead just helped distribute, they wouldn’t have needed cops there at all. The only reason they needed cops there was because it took 6 hours to get your care package of bananas, apples, bread, and water, and they didn’t have any shade available while waiting.
What, cops do useful work? Don’t be absurd.

Context?
Yeah, I’m not visiting “X”.
“click” “back”
Yup
So they were just denying everyone entry to the grocery store and this really has nothing to do with baby formula?
Where else would people be going to obtain baby formula and other necessities?
My point is the cops were not on a crusade against baby formula purchasers like the headline implies.
If I intentionally crash into a school bus, it’d be hard to argue I just hate the color yellow. Either, in your world, the cops are too stupid to understand the consequences of their actions, in which case they need to be removed from the situation, their job and be barred for ever being within 1000 miles of a weapon, or they don’t care, In which case the same should apply.
Your analogy is get accurate. It’s more like: commercial fisherman murders hundreds of innocent fish. Those fish usually go toward feeding whales. Why do the fishermen hate whales?
The real crime here is too many people, these cops included, use “just following orders” as justification to hand-wave away the side effects as not their problem. The intent is important here, and the headline for this article misconstrues the intent and cause of the resulting suffering. For that matter, it doesn’t even go into detail about the actual suffering, just a hypothetical one.
What am I saying? This isn’t even an article. Why are we treating a post on X as any source of information?
Everyone please disburse. There is nothing to see here. Global warming is fake news. Now, please return to your homes so President Trump can toss you a free roll of paper towels.
Same as happened in KAtrina. And in 1906 SF earthquake
Profits > … everything, actually.
