Democrat district attorneys have systematically refused to prosecute violent criminals; Democrat mayors and governors have released tens of thousands of violent criminals from America's prisons and abolished cash bail so that criminals are back on the streets immediately after committing crimes and being arrested. Democrat mayors supported the mass violence orchestrated by Black Lives Matter in nearly 220 cities in the summer of 2020, provided bail for arrested felons, defunded police forces, and instructed law enforcement to "stand down". These moves allowed protestors to loot, mug, and burn, and encouraged criminal mobs to sack and destroy shopping centers and other places of business.
Democrats regard the criminal riots that took place in the summer of 2020 as social justice. The riots inflicted $7 billion in property damage and killed scores of people, which metastasized into thousands as their "Defund the Police" campaign triggered record crime waves in America's major cities. Democrats/Progressives regard criminal lawlessness and mayhem as understandable responses to what they perceive as "social injustice"--actual courts and the law be damned. To them, mass lootings are reparations, and individual robberies and thefts a socialist redistribution of wealth.
