I'd rather they be treated as many American's are when they have their first encounter with police who believe they committed a crime...that is rarely aligned with a presumption of innocence.
You aren't wrong in a theoretical sense, but I am all for equality before the law as a precursor to due process. Due process without equitable treatment means very little except to those at the top.
- Spivak 9y agoSo you would rather people be treated shitty like everyone else than treat everyone else better?
- lurker456 9y agoSelective enforcement of a shitty law is arguably worse for society then across the bar even enforcement of that law. In the latter case, there are less groups that will prevent change.
- avs733 9y agono...I very intentionally did not say that. I said that until everyone is treated with some reasonable equity the distinction between shitty and better is academic because the better never trickles down.
