Absolutely true in NY and LA and I suspect in other major US cities! Sanitation workers, plumbers, electricians, bus drivers and construction workers all rank higher than police. We should be thankful that there are guys like Soros willing to put their money on the line to fund civil rights. Yes, it is self interest that motivates this act but it would be easier to not do anything and many people well off live exactly this way, letting all the authoritative abuses go unchecked.
