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.

Clearly, it is not to protect “private property”, as in citizen taxpayers’ property. They will let that burn, and leave you to die.

Their sole job is to protect the state’s property. And the lives and property of those who control the state.

Proof: every riot thus far in 2020.

You’re confusing police with firefighters. NYPD don’t handle fires at all

I think “let it burn” was either meant figuratively or in the sense that the police won’t prevent arson.

I don’t think the implication was that police should be putting out fires once started, or that they’re doing that but selectively.
