Why let innocence get in the way of chasing people down? That's the argument police unions have been making for years. Whenever society wants to improve and decriminalize something, it can't because the fucking cops want to have easy arrest targets. Fuck them. At least now we can stop pretending we don't live in a police state.

>That's what I would ask BLM protestors making people kneel on the basis of their gender, skin, or job, in the same ironic tone.

"Making"? I don't think that's true. People are doing it in respect of black lives, unlike when people are forcibly being abducted by unmarked federal police.
