Police Departments Spend Vast Sums of Money Creating “Copaganda”
US police departments spend tens of millions of dollars every year to manipulate the news, flooding the discourse with “copaganda.” These aggressive tactics give the public a distorted view of what public safety means, what threatens it, and how to solve it.jacobin.com
“Copaganda does three main things. First, it narrows our understanding of safety. Police get us to focus on crimes committed by the poorest, most vulnerable people in our society and not on bigger threats to our safety caused by people with wealth and power.
For example, wage theft by employers dwarfs all other property crime combined — from burglaries, to retail theft, to robberies — costing some $50 billion every year. Tax evasion steals about $1 trillion each year. There are hundreds of thousands of Clean Water Act violations each year, causing cancer, kidney failure, rotting teeth, and damage to the nervous system. Over 100,000 people in the United States die every year from air pollution, five times the number of all homicides.“
Police departments also spend crazy money on marketing and PR.

didn't realize I had to spoiler this
I've been converted.
They do, but we shouldn't lose the forest for the trees.
Best cops/ regular uniformed officers aren't the ones turning a blind eye to that type of crime.
It's our elected officials who are able to apply the pressure to help their pals and corrupt from the top down and normalize behavior.

Agreed 100 fukking percent, but cops are fukking trash top to bottom and we desperately need to reform that entire system. Especially since it just results in people being killed and nothing actually being done.

When is the last time someone was arrested for wage theft?
You're moving the goal post a bit, but it's actually reinforcing my point.
Wage theft has traditionally been handled as a civil case. The harmed party sues for their wages in a broken court system that's expensive and not accessible for many of the unpaid workers who aren't legal immigrants themselves.

It’s put in civil court because corporations are allowed to break criminal law. That’s not a good thing.
If we consider it a crime and people/businesses should be held to account, make them fear jail time too. Cops aren’t arresting people for that was
my point.
