... that the people perpetrating the crimes and the dragging from homes and the mock trials were mostly Bane's guys and the released criminals, with maybe some others joining in. Most people just stayed indoors and kept their heads down, tried not to get in trouble. At the end when the 3000 officers came out, there was only about an equal number of bad guys to oppose them, which isn't many for a city of, what, a million or more? People didn't fight back because of the bomb threat, but that doesn't mean everyone joined in the looting. And the looting and the dragging seemed to be mostly an initial reaction to the panic, which isn't so unbelievable when you look at what mobs of otherwise reasonably decent people do in the real world. Afterward things seemed to settle down into a martial law sort of state, with the criminals (with their weapons and Batmobiles) enforcing order and hauling any rich people to the court.
But I don't go into movies with real world political thoughts. I just want to enjoy (or not enjoy) what's on the screen.

Eh. The "political message" was a sham, a smokescreen. There wasn't one.

ESPECIALLY since the theme of the first two movies is "Gotham PD is corrupt"

They were charging in to ARREST the thugs, not to wipe them out. That's the point of cops

Well, his goal is despair. It'd be even more effective if there was a guard at the top.
