    What they’re trying to do is funnel public dollars to their friends who make the equipment that the police use.

    Don’t forget funnelling a steady stream of prisoners into their corporate prison system…

    Also criminalizing any political opponents…

      Same idea, different context.

      They’re still funneling public money to their friends, just the friends that run the for-profit prisons.

      They’re happy to criminalize anyone and everyone they can. That’s the entire point of the police “service”.

      “To protect and serve” is incomplete. It’s more like “to protect and serve corporate interests and profits”
