>police can operate well in preventing violence to our economic infrastructures and yet police can’t seem to grasp preventative interventions for people-vs-people violence.

Because that's their only real function: keep private property safe, directly proportional to how expensive it is. They guard money. Humans, they're apathetic to at best, if not outright antagonistic.

Ehhh police guard the law and the law isn't about justice, it's about criminality and "legal rights" which are rules that keep the rich, rich. So yeah! I actually would agree in an intersectional way.
