i think police officers do feel inviincible because of things like qualified immunity. police departments, government, etc. hold police officers to such a high value that they can get away with pretty much anything

i think another factor could be overpolicing in neighborhoods composed of primarily people of color, which paints the narrative that the "terror"mentioned is caused only by people of color

this kind of prejudice can be seen so many different places; it reminds me of how peoplecall mattapan "murderpan" when these kinds of stereotypes often stem from racism

in my opinion, this mindset is a result of capitalism and actually damaging; so many people can't work for "personal gain" because they are working just to survive while people like wall street bankers tell them that they should be doing more to achieve greater things even though the system works only for wealthy people

this makes you think about what we typically consider to be culture (religion, holidays, food, etc) because it goes so much deeper than that, even into corporations and finances

it's interesting to see the author wonder about the socioeconomic side of Wall Street, as we recently saw proof of how the stock market is rigged to tailor to the upper class with what happened to Gamestop

this is an interesting perspective and makes me think of "no good deed goes unpunished" and the question of if it is possible to truly be selfless

this is a strong example of how culture shapes all parts of our life, even the way we understand language, jokes, etc

this is a really different perspective than we'd expect in our american culture; we might be less appreciative
