That's a silly argument.
By your logic police shouldn't have anything to do with protecting any sort of business then.
I guess we can tell the CPS to not bother investigating when a small busness gets robbed. They're already making more profit off their shop than the city anyway, and using the CPS to protect them is just subsidizing an industry that already makes a ton in profits.
