I think I can agree with "less rigid enforcement" on victimless crimes. Not even on a basis of "social justice", simply because I'm damn tired of paying for the enforcement and incarceration that doesn't change anything. And then yes, once a felon, or someone simply that much less likely to be self supporting because of a tangled web of misdemeanors, fines, and warrants, it turns them into someone with nothing to lose, who is then just that much more likely to cost me more tax money.
Hell, while I still support it as a "good shoot" 100%, if it's true Officer Wilson initially interacted with Brown simply over walking in the street instead of the sidewalk, and not on a BOLO/description for the convenience store robbery, I can't help but think that a blip from the siren and driving on by would have saved us this whole mess.
I still agree that keeping a lid on the ghetto with a "broken windows" theory of policing is important, but only based on crimes and infractions that actually has some component of mens rea and demonstrable harm to someone else.
Both the American Left and the Right suffer from the most dangerous political affliction, (yes, ultimately the electorate is to blame) of having to look like they're doing something.
