Au contraire! Persecution of the lower classes can do wonders for the preservation of a certain order. Aldus Huxley imagined an imposition of fetal alcohol syndrome to keep the trades in their place, but we do it more cheeply by destroying families and carting men off to work slave labor. Overzealous policing synergizes nicely with the myth of meritocry by helping the middle class (MLK's "white moderate") attribute socioeconomic divisions to heritable "merit." And thus is the pyramid scheme maintained.
