Great comment attached to the story in the comments section …
“America - the country where they can afford to send 25 police cars to your house for no good reason, but have no money to pay for cancer treatment. Amazing.”
No money to fund the “fraud, waste, and abuse” at USAID but easy $1.4B to tear down a government building and build a monument to the most arrogant man on Earth.
Its all about money. Its all the people in charge here care about. I’m serious.
The cops have a chance to “civil asset forfeiture” your stuff. So they come in and kill you or whatever but oh, looks like you were commiting a crime citizen (whether you were or not dead men tell no tales) so now all of the stuff you own is proceeds from that crime and they keep it all and auction it off on websites or sometimes you will dee the local police department driving around a nice vehicle they stole from someone like that.
That cancer treatment shit costs money, they will think to themselves, and it keeps alive people who are in bad health and that will cost us even more money.
So they don’t care that they die. I bet if you took away polices ability to civil asset forfeiture then the murder squads would ease up a little too. No incentive.
Even if they don’t kill you, good luck proving the negative that you weren’t committing a crime. Plus the charges/case get filed against the assets, not against the owner.

Its all about the money, at its core.
