Who are the law enforcement going along with all this? Don't they know they are accountable for their actions?

They are only as accountable as people make them. Unfortunately, taxpayers pay those agencies. Violations of rights can result in lawsuits, BUT the victims almost always SETTLE out of court, which means no admission of guilt, but taxpayers pay the settlements AND for in turn pay for bigger budgets.

AND the Trump regime and its cronies and lackeys ignore the laws and court orders and do everything they can to override, disrupt, and destroy the justice system. So holding such agencies accountable and responsible is very difficult in our current mess, but not impossible.
