The sad truth

The candidates do it because the voters believe that law and order is an issue in judicial races, and no amount of "education" by the candidates will change their minds.

 That's why they tout those endorsements. Gableman and his surrogates (WMC) are going to try to portray Butler as "Loophole Louie," a guy who favors criminals over victims and law enforcement.

 Butler is trying to innoculate himself against those charges by being able to say, "If I'm so soft on crime, why are these law enforcement people supporting me?" We may all wish it were some other way, but that's the situation.

Failing to recognize it on Butler's part would guarantee his defeat, which may well happen anyway given the amount of money on the other side to attack him as soft on crime.
