Couple of great quotes within this piece. Here's a keeper:

"Everyone is the hero in their own story. And another:

"And so they become cops. It's vigilantism of a sort and it's a symptom of social collapse."

[Aevery_Freeman]

It's a culture clash of a primal kind. Settlers and nomads. Cops and robbers. Builders and destroyers.

Here's another.

The Sultan's nomads are looters, the societal construct is that his nomads should remain moochers and allow the legal looters, lawyers and politicians, do the looting.
