It’s also the federal government’s job to go around arresting everybody carrying or smoking weed, as it is still illegal no matter what any state says and every single person consuming it is a lawbreaker.

Should they go around and do that too?

Every time the police gets to choose whether to apply a law or not you add more power to the police, I don't want the police to be more powerful.

Anyone who don't say yes just wants a police state, the reason your American police is so dangerous and powerful is because they have these choices and can arrest you for a lot of things that people don't normally get arrested for.

So yes, they should do that. That you think they shouldn't is exactly why the American police is so horrible.
