I've heard this take plenty of places, & I just think it needs to be acknowledged this is pretty much what the police are right now.
Corporate theft at Best Buy? Probably months or even years till you're found out. Steal a $1,700 MacBook off the floor & see how far you get.

So people are acting like the distinction is between the police we have now & police controlled only by the elites and the rich, when the history of the police was literally chasing down the enslaved with dogs — in other words, protecting and recovering the property of the rich.
And though the rich can expect to have their interests more zealously guarded, normies like Amy Cooper still get a hit of juice from being plugged into the Machine™ & will lay its full might upon you, feeling either deputized to act themselves or supported enough to be defended.
This is why we love to focus on petty crime like Eric Garner selling loose cigarettes, but we can excuse murder if the cop was afraid.
There is no future lack of accountability without police.
We live in an era without accountability *with* them.
