Okay, I seriously don't understand what point you are trying to make here.  Do you feel that transit riders being subjected to constant enforcement, while constant and pervasive dangerous lawbreaking by drivers is all but ignored, isn't a problematic prioritization of enforcement? Or something else? Because I've already explained the point here, yet you are ignoring my explanation. So what am I to take from your statement?

The point of my statement is I don't understand why you are complaining about someone not doing a job function that isn't their job function. 

I never said that Transit Security should or should not exist in its current format.  I am saying they have every right to walk past illegally parked cars without issuing a ticket, because that's not their job.  They don't have legal authority to write a parking ticket.

This is the same reason the street sweeper, the custodian, the doctor, the grocery clerk, the bike repair guy and the lawyer also walked by those same cars.... but no one posted to Twitter saying they were part of the government corruption that is so rampant in our car-centric law enforcement mindset.

I'm not complaining about SOMEONE, I'm complaining about the SYSTEM. I never once said they should have ticked those vehicle, that wasn't the point. I never said it was their job, nor do I want it to BE their job. But why has our region and city chosen to invest so heavily transit enforcement instead of parking enforcement?

The street sweeper, the custodian, the doctor are not respresentative of the SYSTEM which has chosen to prioritize ticketing transit riders for skipping a ~3 dollar fare, instead of ticketing drivers who park their ~140k SUV illegally without paying a ~3 parking fee. Transit police are. 

Criticism of a system is not criticism of individuals. I was quite clear, if not in my first comment (which I admit was vague) in my subsequent comments.
