Commentary by Jim Gilchrist: —
Perhaps the answer to this question is one of two options:
(1) The City Police Chief or County Sheriff is literally too cowardly and gutless to enforce laws against what is absurdly referred to as a “preferred species” of people: illegal aliens. The police leaders also want to avoid “controversy” and stay on good terms with the political governors to whom they answer.
(2) The Police Chiefs and County Sheriffs are themselves open-border/no-border zealots and deliberately evade the enforcement of any US laws against illegal aliens…unless the illegal alien happens to shoot one of their own.
Regardless of which reason our law enforcement has refused to enforce the law against illegal aliens, there is little to nothing the general public can do about it in the short run.
If you riot in the streets, you will be arrested and end up in jail and criminal court…UNLESS you are a member of the Democrat Party’s ANTIFA thugs. If you vigorously complain, under the First Amendment, in the public square about the reckless lax of law enforcement, your pleas will be ignored.
Law enforcement personnel rely on their handlers: city mayors, state governors, and county supervisors to keep their jobs in most cases. If they attempt to defy rogue political leaders like California’s governor, and many of its mayors and other fanatical open-border politicians, then they put their livelihoods at risk. There are countless others ready to take their jobs, even if it means only selectively enforcing our laws depending on the whim of the politician who “handles” them.
This is why a FEDERAL declaration of martial law, if such a thing exists, may be necessary to bring the Confederate State of California back under the heralded principle of “rule of law.” Without adherence to the concept that has kept our nation a free and civilized nation, expanding defiance and eventually anarchy will prevail. Good bye civilized society. The rules of law will be whatever some mayor, supervisor, or governor thinks it should be at any given minute.
