If this is 'questionable', then what other laws being broken should we simply ignore? In what instances should they not be enforced?

Remember, there is a whole herd of voices that state that 'how dare George Floyd was even approached for the mere issue of passing counterfeit money.'

What guidance must the police observe on whether to enforce the law or not?

This is why I suggest more unarmed/lesser armed police for these offenses not tied to violence. If it's simply informing someone of their crime like a traffic ticket, that's clear. If it's trying to arrest someone but not for a violent crime, maybe you have non-lethal support. That way we don't have to just let such crimes walk, yet we also don't have to have every cop armed to the teeth with a dozen decisions to have to make while running and with adrenaline pumping.
