If I've learned anything it's that nuance is lost on the internet.

I know this is fiction
because irl a cop would not reflect on his actions.
He would just shoot & kill this man on the spot.

You don't know dick. ACAB, and so are other people who cause suffering for their own profit.

All cops. When lines are drawn there isn’t a police force in the world that’d stand beside you

You're choosing ad hominem and red herring over humility and questions. That's not sustainable.
We recruit for life. Whenever you're ready we will still be here teaching the same exact lessons we've been teaching for millennia.
No rush. It's not like you're suffering or the planet is dying. Get around to it whenever.

If robbers only earn $7500 a year why on earth do they do it? Why would anyone risk arrest, jail time, criminal record, maybe even being shot by armed security or police, for such a paltry amount of money?

Desperation

Oh, because of the primary driver of most kinds of crime:
Poverty.
If you want to lower crime, you lower poverty, you put social safety nets in place.
Does this solve crime 100%?
No, but its something like one hundred to ten thousand times more cost effective than not doing that and increasing policing instead.

Also armed bank robbery is VERY heavily punished. In some places armed robbery with a gun (even a fake gun) can be punished by LIFE in prison.

For the record, it's specifically CEOs of S&P 500 companies that make an average of ~18 million/yr.
The Standard and Poor's 500 is ~500 of the largest companies in the country that are publicly traded. It does not include the vast majority of CEO positions in the US, just the biggest.

The source looks like https://linktr.ee/massesutd though the dude doesn't appear to have a website, just links to a bunch of gated websites that I can't access without an account.

If police and prisons made societies safer the USA would be the safest society on the planet.
