In America was/were designed to protect property.

So, in theory that also means to protect the property owners.

So when a rich property owner is killed or death through misadventure, the police pull out all stops to assure the remaining property owners that they are working on their behalf.

Now, some down-on-his-luck person - tough shit - unless you just happen to have a picture/video of the person that done you wrong - you’re mostly on your own.

There is an exception, the police will gladly charge some ignorant person of a crime that doesn’t exercise his rights to an attorney (have money get justice) that he/she couldn’t possibly have committed.

And the icing on the cake - the courts (governors) have said - even when they know you are innocent, if you have been convicted of the crime - then you can stay in jail.

MAGA.
