    Mask off moment. Their purpose is to protect capital. The only crimes that cops prevent are through deterrence because they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.

      they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.

      This isn’t unique to the US. It is called law enforcement so even if it wasn’t a completely broken and horseshit system crime prevention would not be part of their purview.

      You prevent/reduce crime by addressing the underlying societal issues that are contributing to it.
