Loreto Javar has missed cancer treatments, developed a blood clot and suffered rapid weight loss during more than two months in ICE’s Tacoma concentration camp.
A cop buddy of mine once told me: “There’s the spirit of the law, and the letter of the law. The cops in my department who go by the letter of the law are the worst people to work with.”
On the other hand, discretion in applying the law is often an excuse for the pigs to harshly punish people of colour while letting white people off. I think it’s important for laws to be applied equally to all and if the laws need to change they need to change.
People who act like laws are always written perfectly to cover every possible situation are fucking morons who have absolutely NO business working in law enforcement. People are imperfect, and the things written by them even moreso.
