This is what communists usually do. Once they take over a country, they are normally protected by “law enforcement”.
That scenario has already been reality for a long time.
Having read how law enforcement was part of this mob to terrorize a teenager (and his family).... read what people probably thought was nuts when I wrote it in January, and see how transparent it all is, and why the rule of law is the most critical issue facing this country - not just a tee-hee distraction:

Not quite like a full-fledged Communist regime, where the police would have taken him away in the dead of night.
This was more like Chavez’s Venezuela, where the government’s hired thugs are enabled and protected by the state police.
