If you want to hear Trump contradict himself, wait five minutes.
How is that a lie? He could very well believe it should be a state issue but nonetheless realizing that it is currently illegal under federal law: the law that he is duty bound to enforce.
It implies he would not enforce the federal law much like Obama did.
And where is the President not allowed to establish priorities in using limited law enforcement resources?
True.
BUT !!
Is prioritizing escalating the government’s War against the People a more sensible law enforcement priority than catching the hoodlum that dragged a nail through the paint on you brand new car; from front to back?
Establish a War of martial oppression against the People of the United States of America
and the deficit in capacity to prosecute that oppression soon becomes evident.
Thus: stop-&-frisk
Without the Drug War, the utility of Drug War tactics is reduced.
