Because the government pays them ... with both freshly minted money and goods others can't even get. Notice that the receivers of freshly minted money get to use it before the rest of the economy can adjust to the inflation ... why do you think banks love the Fed?

I saw on the news they were paying them in toilet paper and chocolate. Like WTF? Your bosses are in mansions and your killing your cousins for toilet paper?

giving out bank notes can be interpreted as "paying them in toilet paper". The food and guns to the police are what keep the mansions from being raided, the gold being stolen, the oil being sold the American companies. Paging the CIA

This. And I would like to add I quite convinced this "police" is composed of basically, street thugs, recruited over many years. The kind of people that wasn't going to be a decent member of society regardless. They don't have a smidgen of a thought before killing an unarmed person.

Because they benefit from the social unrest, look at Zimbabwe for further proof. At the moment the only thing the government can really fund is the military and civil services, without them there would be a coup overnight.

Because they are getting paid. It's when you don't feed your dogs that makes them turn on you.

It's the same reason the Clinton's and the rest of the criminal leaders are walking around still.

I wouldn't kill someone for toilet paper. I'd probably be one of the people getting shot at, although I'm not gonna talk tough and say I'd be the leader and killing police I saw.

I would hate to put this to a test. I don't trust those generals. You only get to be a general by an act of congress.

I thought that they said the new chief of staff Gen. Kelly was a battlefield promotion? I honestly have no clue about military ranking and how you get promoted.
