28. Ok, I'll bring it closer to the present
Rodney King "insurrection". Where were the cops.

Protecting the affluent white areas. They sure as hell weren't in Compton.

Or how about Katrina. The cops were on the bridge keeping people from escaping from New Orleans, maintaining the status quo in Gretna Parish. That was just last year.

In EVERY case if it's the rich, affluent power structure vs. the people, the cops will ALWAYS be on the side of the rich and powerful.
