re: Thug U update, not UGA

My reading of the article is that Auburn police were being paid overtime to specifically watch Auburn football players, not to enforce a curfew on the general population. Special attention to keep a special group from getting into trouble, not to enforce the law.

I fail to see how that would be different from the town council paying local law enforcement overtime to watch their kids and make sure they stayed out of the news. I can certainly see how that might have the desired effect in various ways.
