'Abandoning citizens' rights': Ben Shapiro has a timely reminder about government's 'one primary function'

With ongoing nationwide protests, some of which resulting in violence and looting, Ben Shapiro has a reminder about the primary role of government.

Government has one primary function: to prevent the violation of rights to life and liberty. A police officer destroyed George Floyd's rights. That is no excuse for our government abandoning citizens' rights to life and liberty in favor of rioters and looters. Do your damn jobs.
