Message is loud and clear: Government has failed in its prime duty. Civility is lost. It is civil war and we are on our own.
Cops have succeeded in making law abiding people feel very ambiguous about them.
If there was any doubt before, there no longer is.
They will jail law abiding citizens for opening their business, but not people looting and burning down businesses. Worse still, they release them once caught!
This is abject failure of the highest order.
Yes, since government has turned its power on the civil society, it’s back to the State of Nature.
