So you don't see any problem with coercing a drug user to buy a gun from some hardcore drug dealers to avoid a threatened 4 year prison sentence.

They lied to Rachel Hoffman; they threatened her with a prison sentence for mere possession, which she never would have seen one day in prison for the crime of possession of a baggie of marijuana.

if she had been given her constitutional right to speak with an attorney, she would be alive today, and be looking at maybe 6 months probation.
Instead, she's dead, and buried...and people with half a brain recognize that fact as a travesty, and abuse of power by the authorities who put her in that situation.
