Gnome - because we dont know what all happened doesnt make it ok to blame the victim. `
There's a huge difference in the way leo has evolved over 30 years ago. .. When I was young cops where in the neighborhood all the time. Nice friendly people... They would get out and talk to us kids black, white, Hispanic. We knew there name they knew ours. Anytime we got caught with weed or beer all they did was make us grind it into the ground or pour it out it was never a big deal.. I ran once got caught and let go..Today anyone doing this would have been shot or at the least a boot or knee in your face..
Police today are lost. Morals, compassion, empathy are gone. It's all about how to kill or hurt other people. Talking to anyone anymore is gone. I have no respect for the law in today's world. They lost it a long time ago for there behavior they exhibit everyday. They do not have any respect for most people..They def have a superiority complex. I never saw this shit back in the day. The violence we endure at there hands is humiliating. There's no reason for them to kick in your door, Shoot our dogs and Stand on your family's back. Then they find out they had the wrong house. None of them feel any remorse they laugh about it. Its happening in every state in every city. None of it is needed to make the arrest or serve there warrant. There are ways to do what they do with out using violence. They do it back asswards. Lets beat on everyone, damage there property, kill there animals then ask who is who.. I'm tired of seeing my black friends being killed because they moved to fast or they thought they where in fear for there life It's bullshit.. I don't have much time left in this hellish of a worlds.. The ones that will suffer the most is our children that hurts me the most. I can only hope my children don't meet up with a bad cop the odds are not in there favor.
That's my rant for the day .
Peace HH
Its not just about law enforcement anymore.
An officers main job is to hunt the two legged animal. Simple. And theyve gotten very good at it. These new breeds are the men and women we bought (yes , when you join the military , you are legally owned by the US government ) to kill brown people in iraq and afghanistan. Once youve killed that first two legged animal , you want that rush again. And Again. Martial Power is Intoxicating. A drug , if I may.
Their second job is earn the dollars that keep them, and an ENTIRE industry funded and growing. They earn those dollars by jailing the poor , brown and/or marginilized . They earn them by stealing assets from traffic stops and charging a physical item wth a crime , not the victim. They earn from federal monies paid for each head in incarceration. And these are just some of the LEGAL income streams.
30 years ago , we didnt have the war on drugs.
Thats my point really, its a WAR for them now. Literally. The WoD is an ACTUAL WAR. Our problem as potheads is, we never took that shit seriously, we just chuckled, took another hit on the bong , changed the channel and scarfed some more doritos.
But They Did Not.
Cops have TANKS, Armored personnel vehicles, and weapons no bullet proof vest could hope to stop. Right Now, In your BACKYARD.
And they are winning because we let this happen. We voted for this to happen.
We voted in the bush/reagan cabal. We allowed the CIA to become the worlds biggest dope dealer to fund their south american revolutionaries and the warlords in the hills of the 'stans, for what ? opium? oil, bananas, sugar and coffee (all private industries)? Yes, and also cocaine. Then it became an addiction , like coke and opium have a tendency to do; easy money, hard to let that income stream go.
With coke and heroin comes violence, with violence comes war.
In a sense, LEO is High On Drug(Money)s and gets their kicks by killing poor brown people and destroying lives and families. And they get paid to do it.
They would do this job for FREE, dont you understand ? A License To Kill? Sure , Sign Me Up , Harlan!
These are some of the reasons this will continue until the war on drugs is officially over. Once that happens, the civil forfeitures, the non violent (income streams) offenders are freed, the bribe money dries up, the job market for leo shrinks to ~40-60% its current size. Private jails go bankrupt, big pharma loses 20% of its customers, Big Finance loses its cartel money. And a WHOLE LOTTA people are unemployed.
We can find jobs for them though, I hear their hiring security goons out west for the MMJ industry.....
Whew, sorry for the rant, i think I got all that out my system for awhile.....
Not true at all, in 1965 the first year I smoked the laws and the pigs were worse then now. If they thought you had weed in your home they would raid you and completely trash the house in an effort to find it. I remember one day in 1965 I, a 15 year old wanna be freak, was walking down the street when I saw an undercover cop car drive by, I let out a loud sooiee, and they hung a u-turn and proceeded to chase me, I ducked into a large apartment building and they followed me in and blocked the exits and swept the building and found me. They took me downstairs to their car and tossed me in the back, they drove me to a secluded place and said to me, all we have to do is say you tried to resist and I had to shoot you, all the time pointing his cocked 38 revolver at my head. He wanted to terrorize me, but I was on acid and I just looked at him and said "do your thing" I knew I could do nothing so I just surrendered to the flow. He flipped out that I had no fear, that is what he wanted, he could no believe I was smiling saying do your thing, he almost shit his pants. Anyway after a speech or two they let me go, they had no idea I was on acid, it was not even illegal yet anyway.
Fuck the pigs, they are not deserving of respect because of the way they act and treat others. I do not suggest folks yell sooie, at undercover pigs unless they want to have a further discussion with the officers....
Or they are high on acid and just do not care.....

There are some things worth fighting and dying for, this is one.
While this was yet one more vial act by piece of shit cops, it does happen in other parts of the country. I am sure some of you will remember this incident in New Mexico.
Another man is coming forward this week with allegations that a New Mexico hospital performed forced anal probes looking for drugs after his car was stopped by police for failure to signal when turning.
A week after a lawsuit by David Eckert revealed that police transferred him to Gila Regional Medical Center for forced anal probes and a colonoscopy, Timothy Young says state police transferred him to the same hospital for similar procedures because the same drug dog alerted drug detection during the traffic stop. In both instances, the doctors found no drugs, according to a KOB 4 review of medical records.
In its initial report on Eckert, KOB 4 had said the reason Eckert was transferred to the hospital for invasive searches was because police believed Eckert was clenching his buttocks to hide drugs. But the release of the search warrant reveals that Leo the K-9 alerted to the detection of drugs during both incidents.
In both instances, the police went outside the jurisdiction of the limited search warrant to have the procedures performed at Gila Regional Medical Center. And the drug dog, Leo the K-9, is not even registered in New Mexico as required by state law. Nationwide, there are no standards set for drug dogs, and their reliability is questionable at best. As then-U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter wrote in a 2005 dissenting opinion, “The infallible dog … is a creature of legal fiction. … In practical terms, the evidence is clear that the dog that alerts hundreds of times will be wrong dozens of times.” Nonetheless, the U.S. Supreme Court last term upheld an alert by a Florida drug dog whose certification had expired.
I don't see any the folks posting that were all in favor of the pot breathalyzers.
that sucks but at least it wasent in a damn parking lot. I cant imagine the emberrasment that girl went through.
