Are you serious are the police going to celebrate violating people’s constitutional rights I’m sure there are a lot of people in jail right now because the police have violated so many people’s constitutional rights because most people don’t realize that they have rights. the police violate them everyday. Are they going to celebrate all the lies that the police say to the public so they can make an arrest the police are corrupt they have nothing to celebrate.
