Obvious Truth
A police force that is forbidden from exercising soft authority, even hard authority when required to keep the peace, is not a police force ... it’s a Cub Scout troop. And those who automatically equate the exercise of authority with Fascism are not just gullible ... they are criminally naive.
Well put ...

I don't think someone can be indicted for being naive; if so, there would be a lot of MAGAs lawyering-up.
I would think that naive mayors of Portland, Seattle and Chicago could be indicted for violating their oaths of office ... and encouraging insurrection ... no?
