The outsized response of the state to, on one hand, vilify the man suspected of killing a health insurance CEO, and on the other, repress a workers’ strike against Amazon, has shed light on solidarity among the ruling class
I don’t agree with their conclusion. It’s true that the murder of a CEO would get more police attention than the murder of an ordinary person even in less unusual circumstances, but this particular case is extraordinary not because the victim was a CEO but because so many people support the murder.
Murders of abortion doctors were similar ideologically-motivated attacks against someone hated by a large part of the public, except that abortion doctors aren’t members of the elite. These murders were still quite a big deal and received a lot of attention on the national level.
There was murder on same day in same city. Yet, it did not receive manhunt and as much police attention.
Yep. Anyone pretending the cops aren’t going to have more leads for a shooting like Luigi’s compared to a random drive-by and acting like it’s proof the cops are negligent/malicious is either a child or childish.
Plenty of reason to sling shit at cops, but this ain’t one.
