    It’s not about working for a class, it’s about being part of that class.

    Police, whether we like them or not, are also part of the working class. They are class traitors in that respect. They serve the ownership class and fight “their own.”

    There are a class of people that own capital to make capital, and there are a class that labor to acquire capital.

    The cops labor to acquire capital on behalf of the class that owns capital to make capital that does no labor.

      Yes, ofc, the comment was intended as a joke - all dogs serve a master, won’t ever be masters, and are “betraying” wolves by not allowing then to get to the sheep (which they also can’t/arent allowed to get).
