Obviously if I had CHOSE to be a cop, I would have CHOSE to enforce the laws as they stood. Become a cop and pick and choose which laws I want to enforce? Yeah, that would go over well. Your scenario is humorous.

You think it's humorous because it basically allowed you two choices. Either you'd say no (admitting that the law is fallible and limited) or you'd say yes (and admit to being a terrible person).

And cops pick and choose what laws they want to enforce all the time. That's why young black men are 30% more likely to be charged for drug use than young white men despite that fact that it's been proven that both demographics have the same levels of drug use. Or why some cops ticket people for driving 5 over at the end of the month. Or how campus PD at many colleges have decided not to bother trying to catch kids drinking and smoking pot and focus on real crimes.

Cops have agency too.

Good post.

Cops don't choose which laws they will or will not enforce, because if they did that, they'd be labeled as "crooked."

It was mostly my fault. But hey at least I got Leb to admit that the law is more important to him than humanity or values or morality.

Now when he gets on his high horse about Butch's recruiting we can always just remind him that he'd willingly do worse!

If I were a cop in 1947, I would have expected coach Neyland to honor a commitment. TIFWIW


LOL

Leb, you chose the wrong forum. You really need to hang out in the politics forum. I would love to see you and Trut go at it. That would be freakin' hysterical.
