Right wingers are using the protests to start stop and frisk all over again. They are using the BROKEN WINDOWS theory of law enforcement. This means, that the people you dont like, and think are more likely the KIND of people up to no good, are harrassed and hounded for petty and less crimes to GET THEM INTO THE SYSTEMS. This makes them ripe for harsher sentences if caught, and hobbles them, with fines and community duty etc.
This is what cops apologized about, back at it in earnest. They are not arresting those that are looters, arsonists or violent. They are arresting folks, to send a message. Now most if not all those arrested so far, when lawyers are demanded, are cut loose immediately. Which shows that the thugs KNOW they are acting illegally. It also shows they KNOW they are arresting innocent folks.
This is as evil and ****hole a practice as any dictatorship or monarchy. This is pure Trump, who has taught his folks to chant lock her up, with NO CRIME, no charges, and no law enforcement buyin. Trump has taught his folks, that Obama is guilty of treason, and should be killed. ON NO EVIDENCE, but all the evidence on Trump is FAKE.
Proactive policing, is discriminatory and therefore will be fine with right wingers.

The head of the Department of Homeland Security set off alarms after saying that federal agents were making ‘proactive’ arrests in Portland amid heated protests, drawing comparisons to the dystopian “pre-crime” of Minority Report.
Some argued that “proactive arrests” are “not a thing” under US law, apparently referring to the need for probable cause, while other critics said federal agents were effectively kidnapping “innocent” and “peaceful” protesters.
Proactive Policing: Assumptions
Maintaining a visible and proactive police presence in neighborhoods will deter crime and criminal behavior, as well as reduce the public's fear of crime. Both goals are equally important and contribute to enhancing trust between citizens and police.
Police officers must actively enforce laws even for low-level crimes and violations, before there is a call for service. This will prevent more serious crimes in the future.
Law enforcement must shift away from using only reactive policing tactics, such as simply responding to calls after a crime has occurred. This is important if police are going to meaningfully contribute to reducing crime and the public's fear of crime.
To reduce crime and fear of crime, officers and agencies need to communicate effectively with the communities they serve and increase levels of trust between citizens and officers in these areas.
By developing effective strategies, law enforcement can help communities project the idea that crime will not be tolerated.

Study suggests proactive policing may do more harm than good
Most people know that the bulk of crime in industrialized countries occurs in areas where poor people live and that more often than not, such areas have a high population of minorities. Because of that, police departments have focused a large share of their resources on such areas. In recent times, police have adopted a practice called proactive policing in which they engage heavily with people in their jurisdiction—stopping people, asking questions, making arrests for minor offenses, etc. The aim is to prevent serious crime, rather than arrest or prosecute after the fact—but some have accused the police of targeting minorities. Studies indicate, Weisburd notes, that such tactics do help reduce crime rates. But in this new effort, the researchers have found an example where the opposite was true.
