They only enforce the laws they like, when they feel like enforcing them.

Ehhh technically everyone is making the laws via voting for their representatives. So you both made the laws, and the cop is enforcing them.

Depending on his department, more like th DA enforcing them since they won’t bother with anything that’s pointless usually.

His comment is just logical fallacies that move the goalpost. Lawmakers make the laws and cops enforce them. But he wants me to believe voters make the laws and the DA enforces them.

You keep using that word. It does not mean what you think it means lol.

Also, true objective reality doesn’t care what you believe. You can shove your head in the sand as much as you want to. It doesn’t change the fact that the systems in place are largely due to the will of the people electing them. For better or worse. Yes, that just means that a large portion of your neighbors and potentially friends vote for people who want to remove your rights, and opt for fascist nationalist Christian nation in the USA.

That technically wasn’t a law, it was a court case.

And yet Republicans continue to vote in representatives who legislate against their own interests because of single issue voting.

They know what they’re doing. They don’t care about the hypocrisy.

You can’t have 4 years of Trump and pretend white women and Latinos didn’t vote for him in greater numbers round 2. They know what they’re voting for.

Dispel the notion they don’t know what they’re doing. They know exactly what they’re doing lol.

Aww, you still think that politicians accurately represent the wishes of the people who voted for them? That’s adorable! 🥹

Yeah because all Democrats are great 🙄 You blue no matter who zombies would do well to remember that the lesser evil is still evil.

For all the campaign trail promises and press releases, there’s maybe a dozen US national level politicians who aren’t the loyal lapdogs of billionaires and their corporations and Biden is NOT amongst that dozen.

Agreed. Look at Europe. They have the right idea when it comes to police enforcement.

Selectively enforce laws with sometimes a non appropriate amount of force, sometimes with extreme prejudice.
