This. Cops are important as they are the distributors of violence at the behest of the state and have always existed in some way or form throughout history. Coders, though valuable, are not as valuable as a man willing to put on a bulletproof vest and take a truncheon to their fellow man. Also of note is coders are distinct from millionaire and billionaire techbros and will likely be quickly dumped for a majority of code made by machines and then edited by a privileged few by companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc.
