There’s no proof against it because it’s factual. They just don’t like the narrative it forms by pointing it out, or they think it’s justified by the other value police/employers create, or they think the victims had it coming (by committing “time theft” or being criminals themselves even if I convicted because police only go after bad people / they are bad people because police went after them)

Well "wage theft" is also rhetorically abused to go beyond fraud, lack of payments or similiar actual misconduct and into bullshit Marx-tautology territory of "all profit is stolen from the worker". They think it helps spread their point but it really undermines it to anybody who catches on to their bullcrap.
