As a resident of Portland, I see police and federal agents disregard judge orders And break laws every single night.
Law and order is a myth that is pushed by those seemingly "above" it.

And it might even be factually correct from both sides given a reasonable interpretation of "fact".
What will remain is your evaluation about which type of law breaking is more dangerous to the fabric of society. And that seems to be the fault line between left and right.
Personally I think government and cops breaking the law is corrosive in a unique way. This is a fairly broadly accepted view as well - it's why crimes by law enforcement and the judiciary have often been treated more harshly. It's a huge red flag when they are treated more leniently as it speaks of corruption that runs deep in the body politic.
That is not my understanding. I think if you look at the numbers you will see lower prosecution rates and lighter sentences for crimes committed by police.
But you're broadly right. I should have said "theoretically" instead of "often"
They can all be correct, technically.
Yes, if all sides are saying law and order is a myth, they are probably all correct that it is.
Or the outside agitators in the DHS, Border Patrol?
