"I recognized, through my eleven years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer, the substance to be some sort of narcotic," the report said."

Let's underline this: Part of the usual "testilying" is working in "my XX years of training and experience" early and often, unprompted. And his pretending that his "training and experience" wasn't sufficient to tell the difference between crack -- or meth, when that became the better drug of choice for whatever reason -- isn't "bad faith" in the eyes of the department? The answer is: because we're living in a police state, folks.

In this case the officer is a “she.”

"I recognized, through my eleven years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer, the substance to be some sort of narcotic,"

Ergo, eleven years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer are worth jack squat in identifying narcotics. Good to know.
