“the officer’s discretion” vs. the officer’s career, benefits, retirement and peer pressure. No contest there.
When they hire on they are forced to take an oath to the Constitution. That oath IS their job. If they use officer’s discretion to uphold the Constitution then being fired for “doing their job” of upholding the Constitution is a wrongful termination suit hands down. It is what they were told to do and took an oath to do and signed a contract to do. If this was done in mass it would end this crap.
