    That cop is a really good listener for a cop.

      For a US or French cop.

        It’s pretty obvious that the entire comic talks specifically about the US, so I didn’t think it was necessary to specify that in my comment.

        All cops. When lines are drawn there isn’t a police force in the world that’d stand beside you

    Bonus panel. The cop just shoots him.

      Not the bonus panel we deserve, but the bonus panel we get.

      The true secret bonus panel is when the cop gets the bonus for the shooting.

    Cops serve the ruling class. It’s why they’re trying so hard to find the CEO killer.

        Yup, I saw an hour or so ago. Very odd to conveniently still have the weapon with him as well as a manifesto.

      People with jobs serve their paycheck. People with authority let it go to their heads. Cops are the combination of the two.

    Why would I investigate my employer? A healthy chunk of that $15B in CEO salary works its way back into the hands of officers via lobbying for increased pay/benefits, kickbacks to police unions and sheriff’s society’s, and direct hiring for police “consultants” and overpaid rent-a-cops.

    If burglars want to enjoy these benefits, they need to get back to the old school way of doing business. Get. Mobbed. Up. You didn’t see Irish cops bothering the American wing of the IRA or Italian cops hassling the mafia. Burglars need to do the same thing as the rest of the working class and get organized. One stick is easily broken. A bundle is far sturdier.

      They are mobbed up. Always have been. If you’d been to prison and followed the unwritten rules then you’d already know.

    I know this is fiction

    because irl a cop would not reflect on his actions.

    He would just shoot & kill this man on the spot.

    For the record, it’s specifically CEOs of S&P 500 companies that make an average of ~18 million/yr.

    https://aflcio.org/paywatch/highest-paid-ceos

    The Standard and Poor’s 500 is ~500 of the largest companies in the country that are publicly traded. It does not include the vast majority of CEO positions in the US, just the biggest.

    Robbers are committing violent crime mostly against the working class.

    Cops should go after both robbers and robber barons.

    How does one create this comic and completely ignore that cops stealing via civil asset forfeiture take more than cops

    The machine works as intended.

    Robbers are (allowed to be) part of it so they can take the focus, all the fingerpointing, be the big bad wolf mascot.

    Some folks will rob you with a six gun, and some will rob you with a fountain pen.

    There would still be people who stole if we lived in a socialist paradise. And they would still want to be called boss.

    The source looks like https://linktr.ee/massesutd though the dude doesn’t appear to have a website, just links to a bunch of gated websites that I can’t access without an account.
