the Miami herald article is 4 or 5 pages long. what do you think they left out?
The reason the police department is using for harrassing this one business. As I said, it's not likely a valid reason but I still want to know what it is.
...In Miami Gardens, FL, a store employee was stopped 258 times in 4 years. He was harassed countless more times and arrested multiple times for trespassing even though he was on duty, working inside the store. The store owner has also been harassed by the Police as well as many of his customers.
How can such a blatant act of criminal harassment slip through the cracks of the Police department and our justice system? What moral human being would put another through such an ordeal?? [snip]
It's Miami. (It's in the north beach area, and still considered part of Miami just as most people consider Miami Beach as part of Miami, even though it has its own little name.) All of us who have lived there, or those who still live there, know how corrupt the Miami police truly are. If I were so inclined, (which I'm not), I could find story after story after story displaying just how very corrupt they are.

The reason was the "zero tolerance" program, which was supposed to be voluntary.
The owner opted out when the tactics became abusive.
If you had bothered to read the story then you would know this.
can you explain how this has to do with liberalism? people being harassed for minor offenses and sometimes nothing at all doesn't sound very liberal to me. if this had anything to do with liberalism, the employee wouldn't have even had the minor marijuana conviction on his record.
The police department is blatantly violating the constitution.
Liberalism.
Also, liberals are all about power, control, and lockstep compliance.
They tend to have disdain for personal liberty and self- reliance.
That is why they support expanded police power and making police be the guardians of safety rather then individual citizens.

According to the story he was still being harassed while he was a part of the program. Why was he being singled out?

I read that. In no way does it explain the actions here. No court even as bad as some of them are would allow someone be arrested 258 times with no charges actually being filed and prosecuted.

they started focusing on this business at the request of the owner who signed up for a crime fighting program through the police department. they operated based on the "broken window theory", which states that by cracking down on minor crimes you could prevent more serious crimes. once the business owner saw that this was just an excuse for the pd to harass his customers and employees, he withdrew from the program. from then on, the pd started harassing him and even put the sign indicating that he was participating in the program back in his window.
there, since you DIDN'T take time to read the article.
