Consitutional rights.

A police chief in Arkansas makes this bewildering statement:

“Now, if somebody wants to sue us, they have an option to sue, but I’m fairly certain that a judge will see it the way the way the citizens see it here,” Mayor James Valley said. “The citizens deserve peace, that some infringement on constitutional rights is OK, and we have not violated anything as far as the Constitution.”

Sebastian SIH asks which constitution this guy's been reading. Isn't it obvious? The Soviet one, especially article 39:

"Enjoyment of the rights and freedoms of citizens must not be to the detriment of the interests of society or the state."

So you can enjoy your 'rights' until we say you can't.

He must have heard "Red State" during the last election and gotten confused.

The mayor there is quite the piece of work himself.
