Criminal justice reform can't catch a break.

I'm always frustrated by the 'law and order' political right. Joe Arpaio shouldn't be a hero to anybody. The idea that we should slavishly support law enforcement and prosecutors is severely damaging.

The 'law and order' political left is more horrifying and exceedingly baffling.

At least the right is consistent in its evil and I know what to expect.

The left is supposed to be on my side on this issue; but, most of the leftists that I see who are under the age of forty have gone full Lavrentiy Beria. They march for criminal justice reform while having conniptions when innocent people are acquitted. They hate cops while shouting in favor of a police state. They spend infinitely more time talking about the people who should be behind bars than they spend talking about the innocent people who never should have been incarcerated.

The right has an awful dearth of advocates for criminal justice reform while the left is stacked with dangerous hypocrites.
