What a waste of money!
In 2015, U.S. police made more than 574,000 arrests for possession of small amounts of marijuana, more arrests than they made for all violent crimes combined, according to a report from the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch. The arrest data shows that black Americans continue to be arrested at a higher rate than their white peers, despite statistics that show they use the drug at the same rate.

Paul at 4:45 – obviously you didn’t read my post re MJ busts.
Look at your post. Please.
“more arrests than they made for all violent crimes combined,…”
So? That has nothing to do with anything.
How many speeding tickets were handed out? More than than Dems cited for leaving govt info on unsecured servers?
How many daisies are there planted vs how many folks were arrested for murders?
God knows how Paul’s brain functions. If at all.
Blacks arrested at higher rates?
Even the Sacramento Snooze and Review printed a cop’s viewpoint on that.
He said non-whites were far and away more stupid in committing drug crimes.
He gave the example of cruising down a major corridor at an hour when most all stores were closed. There – in plain view – in a parking lot, was a bunch of non whites shooting up in a parking lot at a store that had closed hours before. He plainly stated that white guys didn’t do that. He also stated that whites tended to be far more humble and polite when pulled over, while blacks especially, mouthed off and dissed the cops far more frequently. Can’t remember the name but it wasn’t officer Joe White. More like Morales or Espinosa.
I just laugh when idiot non whites start telling me how it is to be pulled over for no reason.
They were never white and have clue what they are talking about.
I’ve been pulled over so many times it isn’t funny.
I was pulled over by one of Nevada County’s finest and the first thing out of his mouth was “where are you going?” At the intersection of 49 and Bloomfield. Now an Obama voter would have one answer and demeanor, but I had a white boy answer. I was polite and straight forward but firm and unwavering. Maybe Obama voters could try that.
I’ve had a total of one (1) speeding tickets. And one non-moving for a non-working tail light. I was guilty and fessed up.
I have a good friend who was driving down hwy one and was, yes, speeding. He saw the CHP going the other way, do a 180 and go after him. As soon as the lights came on, he pulled over and got off and held out his license and reg. The black officer grabbed him and smashed his face onto the patrol car hood. Bloody nose and all, he was thrown into the back of the car and charged with speed far in excess of what he was doing. Where was the NAACP for that?
Please spare me that blacks have a harder time. They bring it on them selves. Ask any black cop.
This isn’t 1963. I lived through Sheriff John Misterly and his reign of terror in Sac County in the late 60’s. He was an asshole. We were squarely in his cross hairs and knew it. And we adjusted our attitudes and our behavior.
This was the guy that claimed on the news that Sac County was being invaded by the ‘hippies’.
I imagined a convoy of VW vans swarming across the Yolo causeway full of long-haired freaks intent on reeking havoc in our poor back-water podunk.
He was the man and he was a stupid moron. So we dealt with it. We smoked all the weed we wanted and made sure we stayed below the radar.
Not hard to to, but there were some casualties.
You want to poke your finger in the establishment’s eye?
Good luck, but don’t come to me crying that the establishment won.
Folks in jail for pot are just unlucky (there’s no govt cure for that) or just stupid beyond belief. There is a cure for that, but Paul doesn’t want to hear about it.
Meanwhile our govt debt just went up the equivalent of a weeks pay for the proles, but Paul has no clue.
I tend to be worried about things I have little or no control over.
Paul tends to worry about the fact that being stupid hurts.
Try not to be stupid and it tends to go away.

If you do not agree, you have that right, but you do not have the right to declare yourself to be any sort of a Libertarian if you do not.
A Libertarian declares that all adults will comport themselves to have total control over all of their own affairs and those with whom they enter into to free contracts with.
Agreed, Paul?
Yes, I didn’t think so.

Asked in a Hollywood Reporter interview in August 2015 if there were any actresses he “loved,” Trump named Julia Roberts and Streep. “Meryl Streep is excellent; she’s a fine person, too,” Trump said.”
