I think the King and his cops know the "Vast Right Wing" are generally law abiding citizens and therefore they can intimidate them at will.
Hell, if they can poke their fingers in the eyes of Congress and thumb their nose at the Governor, it's easy to bully some peons.
The king doesn't have jurisdiction over the cops. The governor does. Can anybody tell me why they're working for a judge and the estranged spouse of a woman being executed for the crime of being unattractive and nonproductive?
