You could reasonably argue it exists foremost to keep wealthy, well-connected people and organizations safe, and to punish their adversaries.

That’s a different argument, though. And it’s a hard argument to make; nowhere in the Constitution does it say “Justice for wealthy people only.” The intent of the Justice system is not nefarious; it merely exists to enforce the law.

I reject the vibe that “law enforcement bad, freedom good, tear it all down.” It is not at all constructive or thoughtful. I fear that people are forgetting that everyone is really on the same side, that we do really want to prevent crimes, and fairly and equitably. It’s ok to want a more fair and equitable Justice system, but in my opinion the solution is not to attack every law enforcement action with emotionally charged language.
