I support the LEOs when they abide by the L. Law enforcement already have enough authorizations to harass citizens without overstepping the law. When they go beyond that then they do not deserve our support. When laws are enforced in an unconstitutional manner then they do not deserve our support. Going further, when legislatures enact laws with no concern for the Constitution or that are clearly unconstitutional then they do not deserve our support.
Exactly the kind of excuses that are devolving us into anarchy. ALL people should follow the same laws and no one should invent excuses for bad behavior. I don’t care if someone is poor or had no father. My father was in that situation and he didn’t deal drugs or pimp or shoot people. And almost all tragic police interactions have been the result of resisting arrest and not following the instructions of the police. Enough with excuses and frisk away
