You’d win that bet. You didn’t see the part where he has lived here for almost FIFTY YEARS.
Bonus outrage: he speaks Spanish because he came here via Cuba, and obviously always got along quite nicely with it, thank you very much.
I think it's infinitely WORSE for thugs in police uniforms to man-handle an 84-year-old man.
Not only is it worse on a moral level, it is worse on a financial level. Being here, even not speaking English, the guy presumably provided employment, a tax base, and good Chinese food, and all in a moral way. Being manhandled by uniformed bullies playing "cops and robbers" will cost taxpayers MILLIONS and benefit pretty much only attorneys. Immoral authority of cops produces an immoral outcome.
Priorities go with morality, and morality goes with limited government conservatism. The more you limit government authority, the more moral the outcome in how society moves forward.
