The defenders of capitalism complaining about capitalism? It's not like the public has been quiet on this issue for the past 20 years. Get creative. Stop eating advocato toast. Starting wages hover at $35/hr. Somehow I don't hear any sympathy.

Have they ran out of people to qualified immunity? I get that murder is the main draw there but theft by law enforcement is only beaten out by wage theft from corporations. Unless things have gotten so threadbare that they can't make ends meet with all the state sanctioned profiteering.

Maybe they should consider a different line of work. Learn to code. Go to a trade school. Become a plumber.

Buddy I can guarantee you that they're just doing their job collecting a check to make ends meet and live a life just like you or I. I'm sure those motivated to get into the FBI probably had something happen to them or inspire them and they think it's a noble cause.

Not everyone is part of a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Majority of fbi agents spend the majority of their time doing background checks for other agencies. It's pretty boring desk work most of the time.
