  In my experience, mostly themselves.

  The wealthy and powerful, in exchange for their preferential treatment, their place of power, and more generous scraps from the master's table.

  Capital. Within capitalist societies police protect the interests of the state, which itself exists to serve and benefit the capitalist class. Police "maintain order" to ensure the proletariat continues to submit to the state and participate in the capitalist machine, and they commit violence against anyone who does otherwise.

      Also don't ever jog down the street. In fact, don't even sleep inside your own home!

        That's a uniquely American problem, not one inherent to the economic model.
