Dude what is this strawman?
Why are you retards replying to this?
Jeffrey Epstein was apart of the elite, because the elite are defined by wealth and status, not power.
Nobody should realistically believe that the elite control police departments, etc. they have outsized influence, it has nothing to do with control. Imagine you are a cop, and you got a free house from your landlord. You find out that your landlord uses illegal diesel in his truck, speeds, and kills cats on purpose sometimes. Your job would be to arrest him, but there's a caveat. Once you arrest him, you need to find somewhere to stay, since he won't be able to fulfill the terms of your lease, it becomes void, and you cant legally stay there anymore.
So you have options now, ignore the crimes because you'll personally benefit, or arrest him and potentially suffer some consequences indirectly.
To scale this for government, these people have a lot of money, they lobby, they pay city council members and state legislatures. They will donate swathes of money to local police departments to ensure a strong fiscal dependence, as the department begins to rely on that influx for its new projects.
Then that person commits a lot of crimes, not super big crimes, small ones, ones that don't get a lot of traction in the media. Nobody notices, nobody cares, they get away with it. Then, that same person commits a massive crime, one that gets publicity across the nation. Your options become A LOT SLIMMER.
You either A. Don't arrest, risk federal interference, B. Don't arrest, risk civilian protest.
C. Don't arrest, risk total loss of funding through petition, or total restructuring.
D. Don't arrest, risk all 3 of the above.
E. Arrest, making you LOOK like a fair police department who equally applies the law, at the potential loss of your cash influxes. This option is often the least destructive at this point in the game.
