Nice parsing. Since the illegals are criminals then they should be for what the protesters are doing.
But should they be ordered to make arrests as part of their jobs they would follow orders. Having families to feed and needing their jobs does not make them anti-American.
And, there's "South40" telling us what we already know: Cops will do whatever they have to to make sure they keep their job, get home safe and feed their families. Which, of course, makes them far nobler than the rest of us who the exact same thing every day.
Remember! The Badge comes first!
Sorry, but I make a point to never engage cop haters on their topic of choice. I know from experience they are blinded by their hatred and no amount of rationalization can make them see. Have a nice night.
