1. Poor people exist in Beverly Hills.

2. It would be unsurprising if the bulk of policing in Beverly Hills is directed toward poor people. This is how most upper income areas work (and not just in the US).

3. The characterization of police reform advocacy as a class war against the working class is... an amazing example of the power of propaganda. Especially in the context of an article in which a police officer is intentionally working to avoid accountability and the person being policed is decidedly not upper class.

I grew up in a very affluent area, not that different from Beverly Hills. The locals describe the police officer's job as "to keep the riff raff out." They basically just harassed anyone that didn't look rich and white enough to be there.
