Why we blaming the cops when the people of New Jersey vote for this stuff? Blame the voters. I wonder if the teacher in the story votes democrat? Most teachers unions, which I’m sure he’s a part of, vote democrat.
Ya get what you vote for.
I don’t blame the cops for the law, I blame them for what they did to the guy. Like they do with so very, very, very many other things, they could have looked the other way ... especially when they waited a day to make the felony arrest.
You can blame the voters AND the cops. Cops have discretion.
The Nuremburg trials conclusively set the precedent that "I was just following orders." is not an excuse.
