And critically its from the police not the government. This is a point that came up in the thread [about crime in SF](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trip-advise-how-unsafe-is-sf-oakland/998671/52). The problem isn’t liberal government causing dystopian anarchy where no one is safe, its the police reacting to liberal measures on incarceration etc, by basically going on strike and saying “we aren’t gonna help you, you libtards made this mess, you are on your own”.
