Police are class traitors and liars who protect the rich from their victims, violently keep the poor in their place, and commit crimes with effective immunity. The police understand this and act on it all the time.
#OtD 3 Mar 1991 Rodney King was brutally beaten by police in Los Angeles. Despite it being caught on film (almost unheard of in those days), the officers were acquitted, and the city went up in flames in what were the biggest riots since 1968 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1...

I find it interesting that in the face of oblivion, most people will do nothing except hope others will do the heavy lifting.
Our species earned these 3 extinction level threats, and most people are so myopic they don't even understand the risks they will fall to going forward.
