Because of the separation of powers. The police are the executive. They ENFORCE the laws, and only enforce them. They should not be involved in the legislative that makes those laws, or the judiciary that interprets/applies the laws.
This is rule of law 101, and has been figured out hundreds of years ago. Without separation of powers, you cannot have rule of law.
- jraph 1y agoWe are not talking about power or decision making, we are talking about expression. I think any organism should be able to express their needs and voice their concern. That's of course not the same thing as deciding.
