    Jeet Heer Retweeted philip lewis

    I think this sorry episode points to a serious problem with the liberal strategy of using hate crime laws to fight racism. It relies on the police being able to accurate identity racism and not being racists themselves.https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1372313714599280642 …

        There's an argument to be had on these issues - there's a bunch of arguments - but the police do not make choices about prosecution.

        Detectives are police. Who do you think collects evidence?

        This is the same problem with how many organizations approach sexual assault and harassment

        Doesn’t really apply to federal laws trying to give fed prosecutors a jurisdictional hook they might not otherwise have though. Unless you think feds fit that description more than state level, potentially small town, law enforcement officers.
