A police officer will avoid criminal charges despite admitting he took marijuana from criminal suspects and, with his wife, baked it into brownies.This should infuriate on so many levels.
The whole damned War on Drugs has spawned all sorts of accepted police state tactics, from monitoring of financial transactions, to asset forfeiture, to no-knock home invasion raids...
Kathryn Johnston was killed by the bastards who planted pot in her house. Donald Scott was killed by official thugs who openly planned seizing his land.
Cancer patients are being persecuted, their agony further compounded--even where the state allows medical marijuana because the feds will not.
And Dirty Sanchez here, and his sow of a wife, get brown-faced on some really good sh... and then get to waddle from the legal consequences?
A lot of you sent me this story--too many to credit, plus I'd already seen it on TV, but Dave Licht, as usual, had some particularly perceptive observations:
Have you heard the tape being played on national news of the cop that stole a suspects pot, cooked it into brownies and ate them, then called 911 asking for "emergency rescue" because "they were dead"?Yet we're told resistance is futile. We're warned against lifting a finger.
The tape is funny on the surface but the media (and EVERYBODY) is missing the point astoundingly on this one; How often do cops in this department get away with stealing contraband or personal property from suspects? Does this department have a policy of shaking down suspects for personal gain? How many guns has this cop / this department / police EVERYWHERE stolen from citizens (to use as throwdowns or for the personal collection???) How often do suspects have contraband or personal property stolen by the police in departments EVERYWHERE? Are police in this country developing a certain quid pro quo with certain citizenry (like in Mexico) wherein police can rob and abuse citizens in exchange for not arresting them (or even if they do arrest them)?
I know this is not lost on you but the portrayal of this case and this tape being played on the national news as a joke misses the point entirely...and deliberately.
