Good luck to this judge. While I approve of his actions here, this a bright spot in a sky full of dark clouds.

p>It was not a total victory for Miller and his citizens’ rights organization Fair Cop: Knowles rejected Miller’s argument that the College of Policing guidelines on hate crimes are unlawful. The judge decided that they “serve legitimate purposes” and are “not disproportionate.”
