I think of all the gruff that LEOs have gotten in the past, some of it undeserved vs the existence of some seriously rotten men and women in costume. Now im thinking of how many cops (good OR bad) are protecting these rotten judges? A 'bad cop' can only harm one person at a time, basically. Whereas a rotten judge can negatively impact thousands or even millions with each "Ruling".
And if a judge fails to Rule against a marginal cop, or even especially Ruling IN FAVOR of a bad cop (reinforcing the bad behavior) a cycle of Mutual Protection will quickly develop and another micro SwampBlobMonster is off and running to grow and spread. Combine that with rigged elections for rotten Legislators/Legislation…. all three of them basically divorced from Constitutional limits and functioning like a triad gang of corruption, sedition, treason on into tyranny and despotism..
