The "rule of law" is nothing but the collective will of the ruling class and the police is the enforcement organ of that class, so it makes no sense to say that increased utilization of police is a "malaise" of the "rule of law". Actually, it sounds like it's working as intended. The real reason- the bourgeoisie response to the intensification of class struggle- is totally absent from the article. Instead it focuses on some mystical "abandonment" of "liberal values" as if "right wing" ideas suddenly achieved a will of their own and "infected" the police departments and functionaries of the state.
