This is called a mafia.

It's the same reason I eyeroll arguments that we should just abolish the police and replace it with "neighborhood community" groups.

Oh, Megan says Timothy raped her?

We tried to talk to Timothy but it seems he fell out of his third story window right before we got there, darn!

Oh, Megan has since admitted she wasn't truthful?

Remember when Joe Arpaio in Phoenix AZ had a posse to protect schools made up of domestic violence convicts and sex offenders.

Unaccountable law enforcement is a problem regardless of their qualifications.

Worse than that... it also seems to attract the usual suspects.
