I am sick and tired of this double standard. They committed a crime. Depriving people of their civil rights without due process is a crime. Period. Cops should not have immunity from that crime because those laws are there because of this EXACT THING. Why should they get a pass for doing what the laws and constitution was written SPECIFICALLY TO PREVENT.
Ya’know...generally I’m as strident as you in matters of personal rights violations. However, in this case, I just don’t agree that this thing should be drawn out and pushed as a civil rights case. You wrote, “depriving people of their civil rights without due procees is a crime.” That’s true. But, the aggrieved party can reclaim his property, according to the Police. The PT Officers are getting some (badly needed) education. And, the citizenry is safe.
Why not focus the moral outrage on the gun-grabbing Libs who could well take the WH in November?
OTOH...you could be right. I just don’t think this is one to bunch the skivvies.
Either way...keep fighting the good fight. We’ll come out on top.
