Yes. I think cops will not go places if they’re told they will be facing things like fines if they do. They like getting paid.
So there’s the power to coerce cops to follow the law, but not the power to coerce cops to do their job and ensure others are following the law. Do we have the power to make cops enforce any laws?
And I think it’s much easier to do that on a local level than telling them to go arrest the Nazis.
You think it’s easier to make cops respect people’s rights than it is to get them to arrest people they don’t give a fuck about.
