kimberly: So the police chief is giving his officers the power to pick and choose which warrants–which are nothing more, nothing less than a legal court order, ordered by a lawful judge, in which police officers are obligated to comply with, by law– they are to act on now? So if this officer’s brother were to assault his own wife and that officer happens to be at an accident his brother is in and checks and sees that the brother has a warrant out for his arrest for domestic battery then the officer can choose to not act on it? I don’t see how they can tell them to act on some warrants and not others. That is letting the officers decide which to pursue and which to not. Do we, as a society, want officers to have that type of discretion? I always thought justice was supposed to be blind, not discretionary.
