    are you really gonna pretend a governor doesn't have the entirety of the state hierarchy at their disposal?

    a fucking beatcop can murder a person with impunity.

      A cop is a state tool for violence, so it's no surprise they are easily forgiven for any excessive uses of that violence. A governor on the other hand has to make a show of civility, show that the ruling class are smart and just want what is best for us all , it's a much more precarious position than a cop with a lot more people looking to exploit any misbehavior, as this whole thing shows.

      There's a big difference between the 2 and what threat they pose to the average person for the sake of being petty and vindictive. I'd rather have someone like Cuomo have a vendetta against me than your average beat cop to be honest.

        i think you're entirely missing the point of what a hierarchy is and ignoring the fact that if this chick suddenly gets killed in some kind of random robbery that no one would question anything, and someone could just randomly get the fuck away, without any leads from any kind of police. "we're investigating, no leads, shucks."

        if you don't think that the government works in that kinda way, well i think you might be on the wrong fuckin' website.

          Agree to disagree on this one I think, though there is a distinction to be made between systematic violence and personal violence I feel that any random man on the street is just as dangerous for a woman in this situation (jilting a mans advances), I don't see Cuomo having other more systematic methods of violent punishment as being particularly meaningful as it's the same result if he is unhinged enough to do something horrible either way. In this way I find it hard to see what he did as worse than any person doing it (and it is bad for any person to do it)
