These issues are systemic. I don't like cops anymore than the next guy. But if the cop didn't do his job, another cop would do it for him.
Big corpos are not going to stop being shitty the moment they lose their law enforcement friends either.
Exactly. They only rely on police because for the time being it's cheaper and more cost effective to outsource their violence to the state. The minute they can cut out the middleman, they will.
Thankfully, that monopoly on legitimate violence is one that the people can give and take. If the people decide that the state's violence is illegitimate, then it is illegitimate.
