To the Editor:

Where in the oath of office can a governor or mayor commit an act of malfeasance or non-feasance? By definition malfeasance is illegal on its face value. It’s an act of causing physical or financial harm to individuals or groups. Non-feasance is failing to uphold the law. These public officials are sworn to protect the public and not close their eyes to destructive forces in our communities. By telling police officers not to enforce the law they are committing the above.

State and local prosecutors also take an oath to enforce criminal law.
