well the fact here is that 32 pounds of weed is off the street and no humans were hurt.

as for arrests, they could be forthcoming. these people do not seem to be flight risks.

i do not think the cops knew it was the mayors house and as soon as they figured it out, politics came into play and they backtracked perhaps. if this was just some family, they would have all been in cuffs, IMHO.

criminality was afoot in this house, the cops chose to handle it a certain way, and no one was hurt. if your neighbor was receiving packages like this, would you want the cops to do something about it?

Yes. I would want them to put the house under surveillance and wait for the suspect to walk outside, where uniformed officers would either arrest him or politely serve him a search warrant instead of sending in shock troops with submachine guns to wantonly kill dogs.

Wow, 32 poiunds of weed off the street!

Way to get 0.0000000001% of the supply! You guys truly do the Lord’s work, if the Lord wanted people to be arrested for possessing a plant the Lord made.

ALL HAIL THE WAR ON (some) DRUGS!!!

How quickly do you think they would've been able to dispose of 32 lbs. of pot?

i do not think the cops knew it was the mayors house and as soon as they figured it out, politics came into play and they backtracked perhaps. if this was just some family, they would have all been in cuffs, IMHO.

No, really? LOL!

criminality was afoot in this house, the cops chose to handle it a certain way, and no one was hurt.

Now who's Monday-Morning QB-ing?

How do you (or the cops involved in the raid) know there was criminality? They didn't investigate the intel they got from the snitch? They took it as face value. You said so yourself. You wrote it happens all the time.

You do not yet know that they weren't set up, yet have no problems pronouncing them as criminals. Or, were they merely criminals who hadn't been caught yet?

I have a saying and I've yet to see it proved wrong. There's two types of cops in this world. Those who've been caught in their lies and those who have yet to be caught.

Sound familiar, Mr. JBT?

if your neighbor was receiving packages like this, would you want the cops to do something about it?

No, I would not. My neighbor's business is not my business. But, then I'm not one the animals that thinks I'm a little more equal than the other animals in the barnyard.

“criminality was afoot in this house”

How do you know? You said in earlier posts that you weren’t there.
