Correct.
Nothing illegal.
Immoral, absolutely. But not illegal.
In Communist China, it was legal to beat, torture, and imprison those who objected to communism. In North Korea, it was legal to torture in hideous ways, anyone who said ANYthing untoward about Kim Il Jun. In Soviet Russia, making any profit whatsoever was illegal, and it was legal to imprison 'profiteers' in the Gulag for decades.
So yes, your CT cop has done NOTHING illegal.
Make a choice.
Actually, the cop made what under the law is considered a threat which may be covered by “menacing” or “terroristic threat” laws.
Not that such laws are ever enforced equally.
They aren’t.
I have yet to personally see a leo suffer reprimand for threatening anyone.
Here is my basic position on this:
1. I neither like nor support what the cop said to Cinque.
2. I would like for Cinque to be pro active, and not wait for the cops to do something. I want him to take the fight to them, but by legal means.
Is that in conflict with your views?
