Cops have the unfortunate position of having to police where the crime is. We have the means to just place a button on a screen. The hackers trying to get in and steal is of no consequence to a programmer.
If in some wierdo universe where programmers had to stop hackers by busting down their door in the middle of the night to stop a hack, maybe programmers would be facing the same scrutiny.
Public: You're going after too many minorities!!!
You: I'm just trying to stop the hackers!!!!
Public: Defund the programmers!
You: Look we stopped 40 white hackers last month! We'll stop going after the others, we promise.
