“That is a political problem. Does it justify turning from the rule of law?”
NO, it is NOT a political problem. That cop is an individual and a citizen among us. NO politician forced him to do that. I don’t do those things, you don’t do those tings, and we all have the same political system. This is a bad person doing a bad thing and he needs punished, yet, he won’t be.
The cop did this because he does not fear punishment and he is a criminal. The political system failed to provide fear of punishment, but his personality is his, not the political system’s.
It's a political problem.
That cop is just a symptom that needs to be eradicated.
