I've lived here a long time and come to the realization through observation that the NYPD operates like a private security force for capital. Their primary concern is to defend private property, the people themselves come second. The "community outreach" they do is just enough to keep us from getting accusatory.

And of course the more private property one has, the better the protection...

Until someone decides that the capital committed a drug crime because it smelled suspicious.

You're confusing private property with personal property.

The police don't care about your personal property. Just try to get them to do anything useful in response to a burglary.

Private property, like land, or the means of production, is an entirely different story. Those things receive full police protection.
