Prosecutors acting out of fear of public order become an arm of the mob. This is how mob subverts justice in a woke, faux law-based society.

very much this.

they essentially become allies to extortion and carry water for "small terrorism" to try to prevent the large scale version.

character and courage are deeply under-rated traits in public servants and this pastiche of "so brave" from craven kowtowing to mob threat is grotesque.

C & c are not only under-rated traits in public servants but I would venture a conjecture they are under-represented in public servants vs. the American population. Perhaps the following book by Gus Lee should be included, alongside civics, in the Public Servant Onboarding Training 101 class - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/courage-gus-lee/1007515689

Exactly

The other side of the same coin is that when justice is blatantly not served for preferential reasons you can guarantee the other "sort" of justice.

They are walking on very dangerous ground at the highest levels as evidenced by the new "definition" of pardon. I'm hearing Biden may pardon Fauci! We've entered the realm of "Minority Report" blanket pardons for crimes that MAY be committed...or to simply keep crimes from being investigated.

Mob law results in bloodthirsty mobs.

тАЬMob law results in bloodthirsty mobs.тАЭ Yes, kow-towing to the mob immediately sheds lawfulness and begets another mob which begets waffling by those who should stay true, yielding to a downward race to a generally violent society run by bullies. Losing sight of the North Star of law and order is a perilous abdication of a public servantтАЩs responsibility to the citizens he serves.

France, 14 July 1789. Look it up.

And wonder - how close are WE to our very own Bastille Day?

...and this is why the head of UnitedHealth Care was deposed. Care not for who you serve, and sooner or later someone will take care of you.
