You want to quote that tired jackass?

I'll take the word of a police officer over your's any day.

Then why did VOTERS pass medical pot laws in as many states as they have? Hmmmmmmmmm?

[waiyu]

Actually, that post was sarcasm. I just forgot the tags.

Given some of the cops I have seen, I wouldn’t trust them to tell me how much 2+2 adds up to. But of course to you there’s nothing a cop can do that’s wrong in your book. I have NEVER seen you do anything but suck up. Either you’re a LEO with only two braincells to rub together or just a copsucker. I sure dunno which, and I guess it doesn’t matter much, the net effect’s the same.

The body of 23-year-old Rachel Morningstar Hoffman was found last Friday in rural Taylor County,...

 Authorities believe Deneilo Bradshaw and Andrea Green kidnapped and killed her after she attempted to set them up in a drug and gun deal as an informant for the Tallahassee police.

Arrestee?

The Caifornia law passed by VOTERS didn't authorize marijuana sales. Or Ecstasy sales. Or non-medical possession.

Too lame.

“It is not unusual to have known drug dealers or users offer to assist police in narcotics investigations,” Jones said. “Rachel was no exception.”

You don’t get someone killed for a little marijuana there dragnet2
There are real criminals out there to kill if ya must.

These defenders of the little angel seem to think the cops grabbed her off the street, found drugs, took her to the nearest crackhouse, and told them ‘HERE YOU GO’.

Sending a small time dealer who had occasionally bought a couple of oz of Marijuana or a dozen Ecstasy in to buy 1500 E and cocaine "oh and a gun" pretty much screams "police snitch, kill me now" .

The cops planned for her death. It nay have been option B in case the deal to catch the big dealers with gun enhancement charges went sour, but it was a solid back up plan.

The cops were just too incompetent to keep track of her ans lost their tethered goat without catching the tiger.

You can screw up your lungs and not have lung cancer. Phlegm build ups, scar tissue, there’s a reason long term serious pot smokers cough a lot, hot smoky air is not good for you even when it lacks cancer causers.

If someone isn’t doing a good job, fire them whether they use pot or not. Under what other circumstances, if any, would you want to jail someone for poor job performance?

[Mojave]

The cops planned for her death.

Cop haters are blood dancers.

[piytar]

Agreed.

[Oztrich Boy]

Are you saying the cops made no contingency for the deal going pear-shaped?

Your opinion of cops must be lower than mine.

[jaydubya2]

She had a baggie of pot and two ecstasy pills, and the cops sent her out to buy $15,000 worth of coke, 1500 ecstasy pills and a handgun?! Quite a step up! The cops threw this lamb right into the wolf den.

Are you saying the cops made no contingency for the deal going pear-shaped?

They should have had the deal go down in the station lobby.

She had a baggie of pot and two ecstasy pills

She was an experienced dealer with multiple arrests running a drug house.

"She was an experienced dealer with multiple arrests running a drug house."

I didn't get that out of the video. I take it there are some details I'm missing?
