Unelected judges, in contrast are a good thing. Judges need to make unpopular decisions, and I don't want them voted out because of it. Theoretically, they are supposed to represent blind justice with no loyalty to either side. Lifetime, unelected positions help with this. We want unaccountable judges, because if they are accountable towards a group, then they will rule in favor of that group. Have you seen some of the ads elected judges put forward? They are basically promising the electorate that they will rule in X way. It's horrible.

Having unaccountable judges works only if those judges do their utmost to be unbiased. However, since they are unaccountable, there is no incentive for them to do so - and you can't remove them from their jobs, even when their rulings consistently suit only themselves or the ones who paid/made a deal for their rulings. Can you imagine the limits to your power only being the willingness of your peers to let you get away with it? The only judge I've ever seen being jailed for his crimes was one who was loathed by his peers - and he got a house arrest sentence. All others, no matter which crime, got retired(and the pension for a judge is the same as his salary when he retires). Most people would consider that unacceptable for people of the Executive or Legislative branches of government(as they well should). Why should it be different for the Judiciary branch?

Mind you, the situation I'm used to regarding judges is different from the one in the USA - in Brazil, the President has no power to appoint judges of Federal Circles. He appoints new Supreme Court members, and part of the members of the higher courts(like the High Justice Court and the High Electoral Court). This means that Brazilian judges are much less accountable than in the USA.

So I found the stupidest, most ignorantly racist person on twitter:
Listen up white people I’m leading the white feminists BLM rally today in Atlanta and I have some simple rules for you to follow:
1. Can’t believe this has to be said but DO NOT BRING SIGNS THAT SAY I CANT BREATHE. This is not YOUR phrase
2. If you are going to be nice to police, bring them food or water, or even stop to shake their hand DO NOT COME
3. If you support @realDonaldTrump or ANY republican you ARE NOT WELCOME. You are implicated in this genocide.
4. Can’t believe I have to say this either DO NOT SPEAK OVER OUR BLACK BROTHERS. I will be there with a megaphone please find me and we will work with you.
5. If you have any black employees DO NOT COME. We don’t want your fake guilt while you’re paying them starving wages

I'd rather have bias than corruption honestly. And if they are easily accountable, corruption is inevitable. In contrast, judges are mostly accountable to higher up judges, and to impeachment (rare). This keeps them in check for violating norms.

Just say that you employ black people, cause apparently that's racist.

I can say I am in charge of them, probably worse in their eyes.

Get rid of the police nothing can go wrong with this. Welp this'll be the rise of depending on criminal gangs for protection when the response is so cucked.

Yes get rid of the police and tell us how well it goes.

Get rid of the police and you turn into your Post-Scarcity+AnarchoCommunist+Democratic Socialist sort of Star Trek Federation society

Police have guns. Guns are a sort of weapon. Weapons are barbaric and can kill.

All those Right Wingers who own guns are a bunch of barbarians who aren't enlightened and can be trusted like us.....erm, we can trust those criminal gangs, they're pragmatic and maybe have a sense of honor unlike "the real criminals"

Problem here is there are a lot of biased judges and corrupt judges. And while I agree that judges shouldn't be easily removed, having them be virtually untouchable means you're replacing one sort of tyrant for another.
In the US, judges aren't corrupt, or even horribly biased. So that's just not true.

Pretty well in Camden, New Jersey, in 2012:
