    “No but you have to understand, All Cops might Be Bastards but they’re could be way worse bastards!”

    Wow what a magnificent argument.

    How do you feel about ICE arresting people for immigration offenses?

    How do you feel about the DEA prosecuting people for cannabis?

    Do you not understand that things are clearly immoral should lead to law enforcement refusing to enforce the laws. It doesn’t mean they get to decide which laws to enforce or not, willy nilly, but if someone says “go an arrest every minority out there” they can say ‘that’s unconstitutional and I won’t do it, you can fire me and then I’ll sue you’ or whatever it is you do there.

    What you CAN’T do is become law enforcement and then use that authority while being completely arbitrary about laws.

    The only reason I’m not a cop is because drugs are illegal (and some other laws but mainly those.)
