My part of Oakland is full of poor people. There’s at least one murder a week. Old creeps pimp out teenaged girls in broad daylight. You can buy crack or heroin 30 feet from my door, and two of my neighbors have been held up at gun point this summer. And the City of Oakland says they don’t have the police to stop any of that.But a bunch of people protesting the fact that rich people got a bail out and everyone else got nothing? The city shuts them down tight. Bang. Done. Riot act. Do you ever get the feeling you’ve bean cheated? I do. Every day.

This is why the the idea that police are evicting people because of “sanitation” concerns is bullshit.

This is arguably one of the most insightful analyses of how The State (Police, The Mayor, Governors etc..) selectively choose who to protect and who to dominate.
