the pen is mightier than the sword, but the eraser is more powerful than even that. Just get rid of the parts of the constitution you don't like. The constitution is dead. There is no respect for the document any more. Once someone is called a "crazy constitutionalist" by the police you know its us vs them now.

The only real power the public has is civil unrest. That being said the constitution serves as the agreement between the people and the ruling class for what is and is not acceptable for their to be stability. I think that it takes more than one police officer to make that kind of change, and I'm far more interested in what the response from Rohnert Park Police is regarding their officer now that it's international embarrassment.
