Sarah Chayes studies corruption: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/01/19/corruption-rev...

In her book she writes how in Egypt, to get a job as police, you need to bribe your boss and pay a monthly tribute. Being a cop was a chance to join the Mafia squeezing the public for bribes. Your boss pays his boss, and so on to the top. So when the public protested against the regime, the police were especially brutal against them, because all the cops were in on the scam and wanted to preserve it/if the regime collapses their necks are also on the line.

Looking forward to the ICE thugs beating and shooting Americans who want to bring down the current lawless regime... Or is that already happening?

Trump hires fuckwits like Noem or Hagseth who (probably) knows they're dumb fucks who would never otherwise be in their positions, and they would suck any dick, metaphorical or even perhaps real mushroom-sized ones, to remain in power.
