      Catching a scapegoat would be the single most self-humiliating thing the police could do. First they let a member of the bourgeois get killed, and then all they can do is catch an innocent person? There is no way that wouldn’t blow up in the system’s face in utterly comical proportions.

      Other capitalists would be livid.

        It wouldn’t be the first time the system’s killed a completely innocent man. Someone will die. If they can’t track down who did it, they’ll find someone else.
