“Don't never, ever pursue a thief. Justice will catch up with him in time and in the meanwhile one can go buy a new framing hammer.”

This is good counsel for a civilian.

The scary part: it is good advice for law enforcement officers.

Police should never pursue a thief, drug dealer, human trafficker - especially if the offender is a member of a protected class.

To pursue and arrest such an individual will not increase the officer's pay, but it does greatly increase the probability that the officer will be injured, killed out-right, or subjected to legal action.

And if a member of a protected class dies during an arrest, the officer faces the possibility of being accused of murder.

Sure, law enforcement officers swear an oath to uphold the law - but so did President Obama. President Obama’s income earning potential hasn't gone down because he didn't uphold his oath.

And police officers that turn a blind eye to theft, drug-dealing, property crimes, human trafficking are unlikely to be criticized by their paymasters in the blue culture.

The encroaching blue culture has sent law enforcement clues to their expected behavior.

Smart law enforcement should watch the way the wind is blowing and stop pursuing thieves, drug dealers, human traffickers - especially if they are members of a protected class.

They did this in Baltimore last year. It's a jungle now.
