It's the politicians

The police act on orders from their superiors, which are derived from city laws. It’s not the police, it’s the politicians who made the laws and who then act outraged as if they had nothing to do with it. Or don’t you understand that?

Santuary City.
The mayor and governor will probably give him free things courtesy of the tax payers
