Seven uniformed law enforcement officers, most of them in NYPD gear, cursing, jumping over the store counter and charging at a shopkeeper after he asked them for a court order.
“Asking for a court order is not an obstruction of justice,” Zissou said, adding that the shopkeeper was asserting his constitutional rights. “This is restarting the war on drugs under the guise of a civil process.”
“When a cop tells you to do something, you do it. That’s it.”
What a chode. When the constitution tells cops they need a warrant they should get one.
Every cop there should be charged with deprivation of rights under color of law, but I won’t hold my breath.
