    these right-leaning people want to reduce crime, right?

    There’s at least two groups here:

    1. The oligarchs. They’re not so worried about petty crime as they are about maintaining their huge wealth disparity. They use the police to maintain that.

    2. The poor. They’re worried about petty crime because they watch TV. And it tells them that we need more police to stop crime.
