All “justice” systems have a political and economic component to them.

Why do you think pot is a schedule one drug? WTF is a hate crime vs. all other crimes? How can a protestor that never even entered the capital be in prison on a 18 year sentence post J6? Why does a cop that violated no policies at the time by putting his knee on a huge powerful mans neck, who had a rap sheet with multiple violent offences, was high on several drugs, using counterfeit money and resisting arrest go to prison? General Flynn was destroyed for lying to a federal agent, supposedly. Yet HRC running an unauthorized server from her home, lying about it, destroying evidence, gets let go without anything? Isn’t it time for Trump to be indicted again?
Politics and economics are part of every justice system.
But when the people no longer care, or even support the unfair treatment of another group, things start to get crazy. When the most basic ideas of our “republic” and the rights people have no loger matter, it starts to become dangerous. The politician is only constrained by the masses and what they will tolerate, because if given the chance, those in power would shoot someone which poses a threat to them in the back of the head even here in the US.
