About This Quote
When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt, but protects the corrupt from you – you know your nation is doomed. This quote is very true. When law enforcement breaks down, it puts you in dangerous situations where people are willing to break the law to get what they want. They will steal you blind, even if they have to do it by force.
Law enforcement is supposed to protect you, not protect those who are doing wrong. Without law enforcement, there is nothing stopping people from breaking the law, and once they do so, there’s no one stopping them from oppressing others.
