That's some after the fact shit. After the commoners were already violated, because the cops won't or can't and definitely have no interest in protecting them.
How many are in prison for violence against the powerful?
If someone goes to jail for violence against me, I haven't been protected from violence. That's literally all I'm saying. Why are you putting random words in my mouth and asking me questions about that shit?
The cops ain't ever protected me from violence and are scarier to me than either the random man (the random man could be a cop, but the cop definitely is) or the bear.
You can't threaten me with violent men into not being afraid of violent men.
In my experience, it's my brother-in-law. His testimony was an important part of a case that put 22 people in jail for actually planning an actual mass murder. Actual bad people, actual plans, actual schedules, actual gear.
He's a cop, one of a few in my family (we're more a firemen/infantry family).
If thats okay with you, I'm going to disagree with your assessment of his character.
So he hasn't been forced out or realized what he's participating in yet. It's not that hard to figure out. If he sticks around it'll become more apparent.
