Incidents such as these highlight how frustrated the people have become with the legal system, seeing it fit to take the law into their own hands to ensure that some form of justice is served. But this is not justice, and merely points to the growing distrust that has fomented between the people and law enforcement agencies. There’s a reason that the judiciary exists, to serve justice in a fair and impartial manner, and we cannot have people taking matters into their own hands. It is up to the law enforcement agencies to earn back the trust that they have lost by ensuring that justice remains their number one priority.
