I don't understand any location where the politicians care more for the criminals than they do for the law abiding citizens.

I don't understand why the citizens allow this, but I have 2 theories-
1. Citizens vote for those types of politicians because they think the politicians will give them something- more welfare, whatever, so they let this override their concerns for safety.
2. The politicians, maybe the voters, are concerned that it will be their friends, their family, or themselves that will be criminals and will want to not be treated as criminals.
