Excellent representation of false compassion!

That Instagram quote is painful. When police enforce laws that everyone knows are laws, it's violent targeting. There is no logic here, just the raw power of identity politics. It is not compassion. It does not work.

Paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin, you can't help people if your "help" keeps them comfortable in their self-destruction.
