This is the kind of information, that the “Law and Order “ folks need to be reminded of on the regular…

Or is it we need to follow the law, but they are being unfairly targeted?????

Unfortunately we don't share a common language anymore. The people fighting for "law and order" don't actually mean, that everyone has to follow the same law. For them it's a tool to police minorities and political opponents. In other words fascism.
