Occasionally on my social-network, someone will make the 'shocking declaration' that "it's not okay that the cops murdered the innocent bouncer or -that Donald Trump thinks rich people can sexually assault women at-will or -that people do any number of other bad things"---

I suppose they're 'complaining that "the people doing these bad things" aren't being punished fast enough,' but it comes off as if they're "educating us" on morality.
