"Some state judges say they don't feel adequately protected, and some are carrying guns to defend themselves if necessary, according to a story by the New York Times. There's no centralized security force tracking threats against state judges or protecting them, even though the estimated 30,000 state judges handle some of the most contentious cases in the country."
"The reality is that despite the success of years of Copaganda telling us otherwise, police haven't really been hitting it out of the park on the investigative front. The declining murder clearance rate made headlines in 2023."
"It isn't a good look for The People when their government can't even afford to protect their own judges."
State judges are feeling unsafe and are resorting to carrying guns for self-defense due to a lack of adequate protection and centralized security. Local law enforcement, which is responsible for investigating threats, is perceived as ineffective, especially given the declining murder clearance rates. Judges express frustration over the inability of local authorities to protect them, highlighting a broader issue of government failure to ensure safety for those in the judiciary. The situation reflects a troubling trend where even judges cannot rely on the system meant to uphold law and order.
