34. Believe it or not, it's not the cops. They enforce laws written by the state lege.

This was not planned by cops chowing down on donuts at a coffee shop. It's a law, attack the source.

And the level of discretion the PD were permitted was within that law, too. We don't know if the hospital was forced or looking for a paycheck.

The lege has implemented draconian laws in NM as in TX where women are being violated by medical providers under mandates.

How many have sat back and washed their hands of the plight of women being violated and forced to endure such procedures?

It doesn't excuse this in any way, but it's a slippery slope, supported by the so-called 4A civil liberties crowd as the right to life,' but not one's own body, if one is a woman.

Or for that matter, a person of color or poor. This is nothing new in our history, but it's the creeps in state capitols that make this possible, not cops. It's a national thing, horrible.

It looks like NM went to hell along with TX at the hands of people obsessed with other people's lives. The VA lege wrote a detailed law on what was a crime in the bedroom.

These people are sick, and it's not just the cops. They are the favorite whipping post, but they don't make laws. Call them out for this law and this will end.
