Because those that push for it
discriminate.
Yesterday, after a three-year-long investigation, the federal government
appointed a monitor to oversee the police department in city of Newark,
New Jersey, after the U.S. Justice Department uncovered a “pattern and
practice of unconstitutional policing” in recent years—including during
the years that Chicago’s police superintendent Garry McCarthy served as
that city’s top cop, from September, 2006 to May, 2011....
Among the Justice Department’s findings:
-
“Approximately 75% of reports of pedestrian stops by NPD officers
failed to articulate sufficient legal basis for the stop, despite the
NPD policy requiring such justification.”
-
“The NPD stops black individuals at a greater rate than it stops white individuals.”
-
“In more than twenty percent of the NPD force incidents reviewed, the
force as reported appeared unreasonable and thus in violation of the
Constitution.”
-
“The Internal Affairs Unit (“IA”) sustained only one civilian
complaint of excessive force out of hundreds received from 2007 through
2012.”
And 'Streetlight' McCarthy has brought that same level of competence to the CPD which, along w/ Cook County and the state is facing hundreds of lawsuits for blocking CCW permits.

Let's call "may issue" laws for what they are. They are Jim Crow laws.
