We can't ignore somebody who's obviously breaking the law.

You're saying that you thought you were an accomplice or that you assisted somebody in breaking the law?

We are not stopping arrests. We are stopping these particular operations. We will still be in the licensed establishments enforcing the laws, including public intoxication and sale to intoxicated persons. Routine inspections will continue, as will responses to complaints.

Drinking is fine. But when people drink too much, they become dangerous to themselves and other people.

We're trying to reduce that and save lives.

These people who are being arrested are really drunk. We're not going up to random people.
