Something like "they don't have the resources the cops need to stop the crime. So I trust the police but the fact is that crime is basically legal now"
It reminds me of when I got jumped and robbed by three dudes and someone called the cops cuz I was yelling for help. They showed up after the dudes fled and told me that even if they found em the courts would just let em back out on the streets tomorrow anyway. People really think the cops are just held on too tight a leash when really they're lazy
Classic latent fascist thinking: "those spineless weak gay bureaucrat pencil pushers are the ones keeping our big beautiful powerful police officers from doing what needs to be done!"
It's kind of like the stab in the back myth on a smaller scale. "The cops could win the war on drugs if the courts weren't working against them"
I know Americans aren't coherent but why is there such high trust for cops yet low trust for the criminal justice system?

Cops lock innocent people up, while those pesky courts occasionally set them free.
Law and Order reruns probably lol (only half kidding)

Death to America
yep, CSI had a line like this in every episode i saw, where the good police has to do something illegal cos the criminals just have too many rights.
higher education is higher than anything its needed for
