re: Do police / courts really defend squatters in homes?

The issue is that the police genuinely don’t know who has the legal right to the property. The squatters show them where they paid a utility bill and/or a fake lease and voila, they are now “legal” as far as the cop knows.

This should be considered a hardcore felony, and those that do that should be given a mandatory of 10 years in federal prison. That would curb things quickly.
