come down on (someone) / = to criticize or punish (someone):
examples:
The governor has promised to come down hard on corrupt officials. [=to severely punish corrupt officials]
Her boss came down on her pretty hard when she didn't finish the report on time.
to unfairly criticize (one person or group) when others also deserve to be criticized:
example:
It's unfair to pick on teachers for the problems in our schools when politicians are equally to blame.
