On drugs or not she went to the cop for help because she thought she was in danger, real or imagined doesn't matter IMO.Arresting her because he saw a crack pipe she felt betrayed evidently.IMO arresting drug addicts doesn't help them, just let them be and they will eventually overdose anyway. I am tired of taxpayer dollars funding dopeheads by giving them three meals and a cot while in jail.
I agree
Nearly every law enforcement office across the nation has adopted a policy of not arresting illegal aliens when they seek help (even if there is evidence of illegal activity), because they do not want the illegal community to fear calling them for protection. Yet, if you are an American citizen, you are not given this same courtesy.
Why do illegal aliens have a right to protection even if they are criminals, but Americans do not?
A cry for help should be treated the same whether it be in English or Spanish. If illegal aliens are given protection from prosecution when seeking help through law enforcement, so should Americans citizens!
