I just read where some clown with 54 arrests just got arrested for murdering someone. What was he doing out on the streets to begin with? It's obvious the system isn't working if that is the case.
Back in the early 60s there was an episode of a long forgotten television show 'Car 54 where are you?'
There was an episode where Car 54s beat was the lowest crime beat in the entire city. Police officials wanted to know why and discovered that Toody and Muldoon had endeared themselves and were so useful to the community that the locals decided they were too valuable to have to waste their time doing police work so they handled it themselves. Robbers and thieves woke up on an alley outside of Car 54's beat. Here's a link to the episode. The good part is the last third of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQEridEINzw
Needless to say, if the locals did decide to get rid of the police and police themselves it would soon reduce things to chaos.
However the system doesn't seem to be doing it's job and because of that I am of the mind that there are circumstances that I would cover for someone that did take the law into their own hands.
People are getting sick and tired of catch and release judges and recently after someone murdered a rapist that raped his daughter and was given no prison time simply whacked the rapist and got off.
It wasn't long ago I would have wanted to see the killer get time because I don't generally believe in extra legal justice but that has been changing over the years. If the system fails something must be done to keep things from falling into chaos.
People think the police (and by extension the courts) only protect us from criminals. The fail to realize the police protect society from itself.
