If he’s caught he won’t be taken alive. The officers will claim he fired first and was armed

Right, I am convinced that randomly selected peers would acquit, especially if the origin story is like "sold home, deep in debt, kid with cancer died anyway". This is some highway to martyrdom shit.

The hope in this situation is what you can generally rely on the rich for, Hubris. Like the bad guy monologue instead of just ending it.

If he escapes and is never found we will just keep seeing what we already are. People on all sides of the political spectrum focusing on class problems instead of social ones.

If he is caught and gets a chance to get his message out, especially he has the sad background everyone expects he becomes a representative of the cruelty of the wealthy, and the situation gets significantly worse for the wealthy.

They definitely want a cop to just shoot him so they can paint him as a common thug.
