See how long you last as police chief if you choose to not suppress crime.
So yeah, police are explicitly responsible for minimising crime, that’s literally their job.
I admit there’s some nuance there since police aren’t expected to actually prevent all crime. In this metaphor I guess the question is whether Trump is a bog standard criminal that maybe gets around the police but is kept mostly in check, or if he’s a special level of super-criminal that police chief Biden should have his career judged against.
The thing is, the people chose to have crime. They were presented with a criminal, and chose him. And I’m not even following the metaphor anymore either; he’s literally a criminal. The police can’t fight crime if the majority of people want crime.
But I’d still hold the trial for the person who committed the crime itself before charging the police officer. But there’s also a third party here, which is the people. The people said, while the policeman was supposedly idly watching, that “yes, this criminal can [be president and] do whatever he wants”. 😐
Are police also “responsible” for “letting crime happen”? I don’t understand the reasoning here.

True, I guess we need a Batman to handle this Joker, the “police” have been overwhelmed
😄 Exactly
How would you consider a policeman watching a crime happen and do absolutely nothing about it?
Very bad, very very bad.

No one is holding a trial here. The metaphor cannot be milked forever. 8t was a bad metaphor to begin with. So stop with it.
Great retort… Real thread killer there, bud.
You asked me a question regarding the metaphor but this is your reply when I give you the answer. Sorry you can’t keep up. 🤷♂️
