>> If you believe a law is unconstitutional, you have an obligation to not enforce it.

This is so funny because police overwhelmingly do not seek any form of higher education & are given guns to kill people in weeks-months of training they’re essentially babied & coddled through.

Not a singular new police officer on the force in my small Ohio hometown took a singular advanced class in high school, and most of them legitimately got D’s and shit in basic US history class. These were my peers, some my friends. I know the level of their education and intellectual pursuits fairly well.

If we live in a nation where people have a developed world 6th-8th grade level education at best enforcing what they think is unconstitutional, we’re utterly unbelievably fucked.
