    The courts absolutely do something. My point is that most of the damage is done before it reaches the court.

    Cops don’t arrest cops or people on their team. But when they do, prosecutors don’t charge cops. Cops do arrest nonviolent protestors. Prosecutors do charge nonviolent protestors. Later those charges are dropped, or they’re set free with an agreement not to sue the department, or occasionally there’s a settlement, that taxes pay for.

      Thank you for elaborating. It makes your point much more clear.

      I want to abolish prison, then police, personally.
