All I can think of, is a situation like soldier. They can legally kill other people with no consequences because they are doing something that the “Supreme” leaders, (or special interests) whoever they are, allowed needed or promoted the bad situations for various reasons .
In other words, like even the rioters, the “influencers” feel quilty, can’t or don’t want to punish people that are just following orders, or like rioters, dumb people just led to doing bad things because of extreme gov’t media coverage of an occasional death during an arrest and calling it an intentional racist murder.
