The marijuana is a non-issue in my book and even as a police officer you might agree that it does not deserve execution without a jury. On the other hand in this case you say the police “did what they had to do” I understand, the child may at some point need that hand to smoke a joint. Damned shame they didn’t paralyze him, he still has one hand. (sarcasm, for the slow to recognize) As to the cocaine, have you channelled the dead to know that the mom even knew it was there? I am careful about who I let in my home and I have no love for the cocaine crowd. But I have found out people have been over who were doing, or in fact have done cocaine at my house. There is no odor, it can be hid anywhere and I am not interested in doing cavity searches of all my guests. O.K. I am in favor of doing cavity searches on some of my guests, but not all...lol
Some folks who live in small towns may think marajuana is no big deal. Wrong.
I live in San Diego larger and more populated than some states. Also shares the border with Tijuana hot bed of drugs.
People here driving under the influence of marajuana have killed kids in other cars and more, I don’t see the same outcry from drug supporters when their kind kill kids.
There are countless crimes each year by druggies, murders, and you name it.
When you live in a large city, it isn’t cute and you see the damage it does big time. I am also a ret. Legal Support Asst. with the County Attys.
Have seen what marajuana folks have done to the lives of their kids.
