chiang who claimed parity cop didn’t get shot over Astand who claimed empowerer which means at least one of these things:
- empowerer is more of a problem for scum than parity cop
- astand potentially started to push scum, chiang wasn’t pushing anyone really
- chiang is possibly scum so they didn’t shoot him over astand
if #3 is true that would explain why chiang didn’t get shot before he could claim his results
that said there is a possibility they can counter chiang so they are not bothered about him at all
#2 looks the most likely to me
