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.

    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.

    That's definitely giving them too much credit.

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

    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?!
