It's kind of deifying the official. If the official process sucks, then it sucks. At least there is some process in place to hold the official justice system accountable only counts (in my eyes) if and when that works.

I think there's a stretch of an analogy to the current refugee crisis. On one hand we have this official set of ideals in laws and institutions. The principles are clear enough. Refugees need to be assessed fairly and settled in safe places.

In the other hand we have selfishness, bigotry and/or genuine practical objections mean that these do not produce a result. The reality is that taking refugees from some distant war on a different continent is politically a landline.

So, the official establishment ties itself in bureaucratic knots. Throttles and avoids the rock and the hard place.

Lets not forget that it's all people. Cops are people. Judges, Presidents, people.

Just because a system is not formalized doesn't means it works worse.
