…you support a state/city government that places a $5+ tax on a pack of cigarettes and you have no problem with that government using the police to enforce that tax law by arresting people selling loose tax free cigarettes on the street to the homeless. Furthermore you apparently have no problem with the police using whatever force is necessary in the process. I guess the only problem you would have with this whole scenario is if the force used by the police is “excessive.”

This is where we are led by an ideology entirely based on the use of force.
