If the police unions don’t like your laws they don’t enforce them. If they really don’t like you, they don’t show up at your house when there’s an intruder. If they really really don’t like you, they are the intruder.

Doesn’t the first one make sense though? Isn’t the refusal to enforce laws the check the executive branch, at all levels of government, has on the legislature?

I don't think so. They are supposed to set standards or make tweaks for how the law should be enforced. They aren't supposed to outright ignore it.
Just like judges are not supposed to legislate from the bench.
I think the misapplication and unequal enforcement of the law undermines the entire system. Nobody will think it's fair that they get prosecuted and some other person doesn't. Justice for all, my ass.
