        Idk man, where I live, cops have to help you as quickly as possible when needed. Whether they get free meals or not, it’s literally their job.

            I’ve been a fly on the world in the corporate world for many industries.

            No one watches their mouth around the IT guy.

            On so many levels, in so many jobs, it doesn’t matter what happened - it matters what can be proven.

          You must live in a functioning country or something crazy like that.

      Businesses that give away free drinks and whatnot to cops tend to have more cops around, and if a place is known to have more cops around they tend to get stolen from less.

      Legal small bribes. It is why places like Speedway have a button for free police beverage. They want cops to stop by on their breaks so people regularly see cop cars in the parking lot.

        Whenever someone from Japan visited us, they were always surprised seeing cops drinking or eating out while in uniform.

        With time, I gather this is quite uncommon forbidden in some Asian countries, but I’ve seen it is pretty normal in Europe as well (wonder if they pay there).

      Cops exist exclusively and solely to protect capital; and many businesses owners have deluded themselves into believing they’re capitalists. However as they are not and have no real understanding of how that relationship works they try to appease cops instead of demanding them.

      In this the Petit Bourgeoisie harms itself and shows it’s whole ass; forever setting itself as subservient to police, who are subservient exclusively to the real Bourgeoisie.
