criminals are not treated as they should be, innocent people are made to suffer all the more.

Those are just the cold, hard facts. We've seen it too many times to blow it off as some sort of anomaly. Much of the excesses of crime can be pinned upon progressive ideology. The young lady that was stabbed to death on a train is one of the latest examples of what happens when criminals are not given their justly earned punishments. We have plenty more in the case of the progressive ideology that allows criminal illegal aliens to roam our nation and murder, rape, assault, engage in drug running, human trafficking, and commit numerous other crimes against American citizens. Sanctuary cities and states are devoid of the basics of common sense. Yet they still abound. Why? So the elite idiocy can virtue signal at the great expense of ordinary citizens.
