…but did the cops and government get to have their bank accounts as a punishment for protesting? Just a “we get your money! Your accounts are ours now!”

What if some don’t have a lot of money in their accounts? That might not sit well with those that get to spend their robbery money. Will they go an extra mile and raid some homes and take more property to get a more satisfying dollar amount for protesting?

“Hey, we froze your account for protesting but we felt like you had a lot less money than others. So, we are gonna need you to leave your home; we need to sell it and get a more satisfying amount of loot.”
