Any bill along these lines does little more than undermine the strength of New Hampshire's police force and erodes the relationships and bonds of trust that our police form with the communities. Are we supposed to trust police officers, knowing at any moment they could be called upon to forcibly detain our friends, our coworkers, our neighbors, our family members, our community members? For a group that always seems to champion state's rights, it seems that many Republican legislators are all too willing to throw that belief away when it means they can cause harm to push forward an agenda that will only cause harm and destroy any faith the citizens of New Hampshire should have in the police.
