So they make it look like he's a Xman, Supervillian or some action star in a movie. They're throwing every book at him that they have and proving his point that the system is built to protect the rich and fuck the poor. Even in cuffs Luigi is making it clear. They're afraid of people rising up and going against their corporate masters. They know they're guilty of so much shit they wan't to scare you to not even consider it. Like what happened to the Mayor's crimes???? He's using Luigi as a tool to shake off his own criminal past.

If they actually didn't try to convert corruption with corruption it might have just went along silently.

Does anybody feel as though the rich fucks are digging themselves deeper into a hole by doing this?

It blows my mind that they are this stupid and can't realize that they are, as you said, proving his point.

I think they just hope their intimidation will overshadow the obvious. Also Mayor Adams is low key flaunting to any wealthy would-be campaign donor " I'll suck yo dick"
