This is even worse when they've also thrown due process out the window.
Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

This. From Michael Steele.
"Police officers are on the front line for a reason. As a community or nation, we do not want to embrace the idea that anyone can cross that line and that there are no consequences for doing so. By offering these pardons, Trump has broken that line."

Trump's pardons will embolden Proud Boys, other far-right groups, say experts
A day after U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping grant of clemency to all of the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, America’s far-right celebrated. Some called for the death of judges who oversaw the trials. Others partied and expressed relief. Some even wept with joy.
