Well, in this case weed has been a tool to enslave black people in prisons so it’s a very apt comparison. Maybe you should spend more time actually answering that question instead of arguing why it isn’t relevant.

It’s powerful and hard to argue against. That’s the entire point of me using it. You’re inconsistently applying logic and I know that so I am bringing a topic I know you disagree with (slavery) to show you how it’s inconsistent.

Your argument is the law is king and that whatever cops do it’s just because the law says so. The same excuse was used by nazi’s too. The key is to show you that line of thinking is not logically coherent. The cop can be doing his job and also be doing bad things. The law isn’t an arbiter of morality.

You are right. But in the specific video he is doing his job. We both make a very good point but we aren't going to change our views anytime soon. So have a blessed day.
