Well my eagerness to emphasize a point framed it poorly. None of it is trivial.
From an immediate financial point of view, paying thousands of cops to do nothing is an economic drain on society. Then there's the cost of time and money for detectives to investigate the vandalism and violence, and it detracts from the effectiveness of investigating other crimes suffered by other victims. The downstream negative consequences are enormous and incalculable.
All along my principle of granting the highest level of autonomy and authority to the lowest organizational level possible presents the best solutions to all. If a city, state or individual wants to go full stupid, they can do so and enjoy their new utopia free of outside interference.
