When we can't even call a clear excess of state power what it is for fear that some sleazy character might use the example to get off, then we have failed. The Left never loses sight of their organizing principle - Expand the State - no matter much their factions might hate each other. We always forget that our organizing principle must be Shrink the State. Too many of us seem to fear we might need to exercise all that glorious State power one day to go after people we don't like. They even go so far as to defend bad actors like this guy in support of that misguided fear.
Conservatism should be about conserving the radical spirit of Liberty laid down by the Founding Fathers.
I agree. The cop should get his day in court, but at this juncture it really does appear he is in the wrong.
Applause to the police who arrested one of their own.
Conservatives should never forget that. That should be our guiding light.
Well stated.
