    but the essence of it is anti-cop

    No shit, but it misses that laws are not all the same, nor are the varying degrees of responsibility that you can hold law enforcement to (e.g. qualified immunity vs actual accountability). It's just crass idealism and George Orwell-style "left"-anticommunism in practice. There's nothing good you can glean from the quote except "bad things are bad", it gives you no real understanding of why bad things happen, how they can be prevented, what they would be replaced with, etc.

      also, the richest man on Earth should be beaten with the people's stick.

      If you really believe Elon Musk is anti-cop in any way I got a bridge to sell you.
