> I remember thinking it odd because I had never heard a European talk like that. What did you find odd about that? That a European doesn't want to live in a dangerous city?

Not that. But in my experience, Europeans I meet don’t usually talk about it, because European cities are generally very safe. So it’s not something that is top of mind for them.

That makes sense, thanks!

It actually seems to say that they have recourse through an established process with congress and that the courts decline to override this process. Apparently Boule availed himself of this process but was dissatisfied with the results (I guess because though it prompted an internal investigation of the agent it didn't result in any damages being awarded to him?) Basically it sounds like if you don't agree that border…

"availed himself of the process" Literally the ruling here is that the border patrol can't be sued because instead they will investigate themselves. Guess how that investigation tends to go?

Sure, it's a little fucked, but they're granted that power by congress, and congress is controlled by me and you!

Because humanizing your chattel is a poor idea. It leads to corruption, favoritism, and being soft on the law. Community policing is a great idea, except for enforcers who realized that having people from the same neighborhood enforcing violence on the population tended to leave those enforcers a little soft.

Huh, maybe the violence is the problem. Maybe officers SHOULD be a little soft

violence is the supreme authority from which all authority is derived
