As important as law enforcement officers are, the survival of a society, be it city, state, or nation, is a dedication to the concept of law and order by its citizens. Most people these blue cities and state believe in it. But the message from the local governments is that THEY don’t believe in law and order. They celebrate riots, ignore crime, and defund those hired to enforce the law. So now you have a criminal element that gets the message loud and clear.

Crime is ok.
