I think they want to intimidate others, but honestly giving him this much of a spotlight should be the dream of anyone thinking about attacking another CEO for attention.

I don't see how they don't see it.

Maybe the cops are playing both sides? I'm definitely giving them too much credit there, but maybe?

While I'm sure there is no love lost towards healthcare execs from even the police, an uptick of "terrorism" could also be used as an excuse to give even more power to the police as well.

I was thinking they are playing it up in hopes of copycats. Basically malicious compliance

copycats

Don't tease me bro!

Our systems and hierarchies do often support the oligarchy, but that does not mean every single individual supports the oligarchy, or that every single thing our systems do are meant to advance the goals of the ultra rich. Sometimes individuals who participate in these systems do malicious compliance, sometimes they don't comply at all.

In this case there could be someone high-up who is empathetic(or a group of empathetic people unaware of each other, their actions adding up) whose decisions led to this happening, or this could have just been a dumb decision, who knows.

I dont think they need an excuse, they just do whatever they want now. Thats what electing trump is all about, letting them run amuck unrestrained.

That's definitely giving them too much credit.

They are probably trying to reduce the number of eligible jurors who would acquit him.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Insurers fuck cops over too. While I doubt it's an act of solidarity with the rest of us peasants, it could actually be an enemy-of-my-enemy situation where cops find themselves hating UHC as much as the rest of us.

How crazy would it be if the next Luigi is a cop?!

[-] RecallMadness@lemmy.nz 19 points 1 week ago

Because their jobs financing is mostly perception based.

Crime can be at an all time low, but all it takes is a politician to rile up the population about murderers and law enforcement and incarceration will end up getting more money.

Be seen as being ineffective, soft or incompetent, especially by those holding the purse strings, and people lose jobs to those who will toe the line.

This is a message to the wealthy “look how seriously we take serving you”

This is the same country that tries to fight radicals in other countries by invading, oppressing, and ultimately creating more radicals. Our elite have little understanding of the socially deviant

They rather kill defenseless children.

I have had a lot of opportunities to post this lately, so here we go again:

New York City cops... they ain't too smart.

[-] aski3252@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

They are probably also scared of people trying to free him since he is quite popular. This isn't generally the case for other suspects.
