If voters pass the #border enforcement measure in Nov, it would mark a sharp U-turn for a state that has moderated its approach to immigration since an era when Sheriff #JoeArpaio of Maricopa County carried out #raids & traffic stops that critics criticized as #RacialProfiling. not just critics, his policies were [#cruel & #unconstitutional]
Litigation is a huge issue in the #US. Penalties often are astronomical seen from an international perspective. Also, malfeasance by police officers including #RacialProfiling and l, IMO, #PredictivePolicing seem to be much more frequent, maybe just more reported.
However, my bottom line is that a) #SystemicRacism will never be overcome w/o abolishing #LEOBR|s. Police officers are nothing but citizens in uniform. They're no animals more...
