The problem is with government officials who consider their personal well being more important than the public they are hired to support. This occurs at all levels of government.
We are cursed by a government mind set claims government does not exist for the sake of the public. These tyrants claim the public exists to support the government. This is precisely in conflict with our US Constitution.
Our Constitution exists to protect the public from government and to make government the servant of the public. The public is not defined as democratic, however, since that simply puts authority in the hands of any given plurality.
Our federalist system protects every single member of society from the machinations of the government and of any plurality.
The job of the “public servant” is to protect the rights of each individual and never to put their personal well being above the well being of their true masters, the people.
This form of government can only succeed if the people are moral. An immoral people are wholly incapable of sustaining our form of government.
Our enemies have been seeking the breakdown of morality in our culture for ages. Only in this way can we be destroyed. If we are to survive we must regain our moral standing.
We have been misled by our enemies to define morals are rights. The right to abortion, to drug abuse, to free sex, to all manner of licentious behavior are touted as moral. They are not.
Morals are not rights. Morality is based on wrongs, not rights. Killing babies is wrong. Sexual perversion is wrong. Lying is wrong. When we do not do wrong things we can claim to be moral.
Allowi8ng children to die at the hands of a murderer when the means to protect them is at hand is immoral. The actions of the police who cowered in fear rather than risk their personal safety for the sake of children was immoral.
The US Supreme Court absolved LE of the obligation to “protect and serve” years ago - 2005-ish IIRC.
