I believe the 1% are responsible for the

militarization and brutality of local police forces.
They see that income inequality, climate change caused food and water shortages and disease will push humanity to the breaking point.
Rather than solve the problems and share the wealth, they want to use force to keep humanity at bay.
The police are not pawns of the 1% but they are increasingly living in fear real or imagined and they respond with lethal force.
I believe we are on the path to chaos and anarchy with the police not knowing which way to attack . They intend to survive which means they turn on the citizens.
