The reason 'elites' stand against law and law enforcers is 'elites' can protect themselves. 'Laws' stand in the way of elites 'fun'.
Same with the criminal underclass. Laws strop them from 'fun' at the expense of the decent people.
Laws exist for powerless good... the folks in the middle. It's one of the reasons people from other countries come here. In most countries thugs like Biden, and the Clintons run things... and good people are bullied by common criminals and by 'elites'.
A country based on the rule of law (where we're all equal before the law and held to the SAME standards) is rare.
And it's another reason we need to work at dividing te country. The elite left is becoming evil.
