        Which proves that cops really DO actually do their jobs.

        Because protecting the property of the rich is the exact core purpose of policing.

          Technically it’s maintaining social order. So get back to work menials or be reported to the Enforcers for organized discontent.

            Maintaining social order, especially in the form of violent repression against demonstrations, indirectly protects the rich’s properties, so all in a day’s work.

      Given the number of times I’ve seen cops on police forums and r/protectandserve use terms like “bikefags”, I think it’s just the typical cop disgust of anything they perceive to be weak or effeminate.

        There’s plenty of cases where they don’t look for cars either.

        Or the cops themselves just straight up steal the car themselves.

        My wife’s car was ordered to be towed by, according to the impound lot, the police.

        Neat thing was that there was no ticket with the car, no police station within 3 miles had a record of a ticket for her or the car, and the area she had parked had no signs that suggested it was illegal to park where she did, nor does the city have any ordinance about overnight parking.

        Best we can figure, is a cop or the tow company that works with the city, just decided to tow a car for funsies and the 500 bucks it took to get it out of impound.

        The police and every organization associated with them are corrupt to the core.
