Yeah, well I'd say it's a pretty stupid answer, given that abducting a guilty person for ransom is clearly a crime, and that detaining an innocent person in lieu of bail is clearly a constitutionally acknowledged LE procedure.
If law enforcement believes attempting to enforce a particular law is too dangerous, and puts too many officers at risk of harm, it is indeed their job do make the determination that it cannot and will not be enforced. More accurately, it is not the job of law enforcement to blindly follow orders that may lead to thousands of private citizens being murdered simply for noncompliance with government regulations.
It would be up to the policy of the department not individual cops. And departments that chose to not enforce a law that the people supported would soon have a new police chief that would
Am example of this would be Sheriff Smith of Larimer County, Colorado, who has stood by his position that UBCs are not enforceable, nor are the magazine capacity restrictions enacted in 2013. He won reelection last month. Evidently the people support his views on unenforceable laws.
It may depend on the state. For instance, here in Indiana all of the LEOs I’ve talked to are for Citizen carry. The only complaint I have heard is that our carry license does not have a picture and they are too easy to duplicate.
what law could possibly lead to thousands of private citizens being murdered for non-compliance with government regulations? Failure to pay income tax? Violating OSHA regulations?
Government has demonstrated a willingness to murder its own citizens over matters of failure to pay specific taxes. And law enforcement has demonstrated a willingness to shoot and kill a suspect who is not complying with an order, up to the point a law enforcement officer will kill a suspect while in the commission of delivering the order and thus leaving no opportunity to comply.
Exactly. If he's ordered to haul some minorities off to an internment camp, he must obey his masters. That is his proper duty to complete without question, and the legislators waving their magic pens makes those laws just and righteous. I can't imagine how you would call yourself a liberal and yet be so completely totalitarian.
Not turning in their neighbors for being the wrong race when government implements security measures to intern that race during a time of war? I can imagine how gleeful you would be when they turn their guns on such irresponsible citizens.
And, according to those who believe that government police must "do their job" and enforce all legislation no matter what, they were right to do so.
And if they did not do their job then they were fired. I have not heard of any cops resisting then.....did you?
And do tell us when this so-called program of turning in people of the wrong race is supposed to be implemented since you seem to be up to date on these things? Perhaps it would be your eternal nocturnal emission.
