If someone sent me a letter saying they were going to use a bathroom I would ignore it

This is rational, but the fascist pigs who passed and enforce that law are not.

Your sentence is phrased like they simply had to be there

That's a very bizarre reading of my comment, which was not phrased in that way whatsoever. The commenter I was responding to seemed to think the cops were posted there routinely for the purposes of enforcing that law. I was correcting the misunderstanding by pointing out they were only there because she sent a letter beforehand. Obviously they didn't "have" to be there, in the sense that they are individuals with free will who could have woken up that day and decided to stop being fascist pigs. But they didn't, and expecting them to is going to lead to disappointment every time because if "don't be a fascist pig" were in the cards for them, they wouldn't be cops in the first place.
