99.9% of laws violate rights the authorities swore to uphold. Still for law enforcement?
By what standard do you "downplay" that? Without rights there is no standard. There is a goal. It is first power, then wealth expropriation. With you and the majority support for the system of institutionalized violence that goal is easily achieved. Don't complain if you won't give up your focus on force as a means to an end it has never achieved. The few times justice is seen do not make up for the cost in lives and rights.
