You just threw that straw man straight down a slippery slope.
>apparently we're ready to burn everything it stood for to prevent people from getting high
This falls under "punching Nazis". Do you want some guy going around punching people? No, of course not. But if he's punching Nazis, then hey, let him do his thing, man. Same logic here, except it's "tracking meth dealers".
>I know I sound dramatic
I was thinking "moral grandstanding"
I'm okay with the police catching a meth dealer and putting him away. Good job. Keep up the good work.
- jakelazaroff 7y agoWhat straw man? What slippery slope? That's literally what's happening here, and it's the argument you're making: "this man is a meth dealer, so the ends justify the means".
- catalogia 7y agoIf we permit police to develop a taste for abusing meth nazis, they might turn it into a hobby and start abusing people like you and me too. There can't be any exceptions when it comes to holding law enforcement accountable.
