No I definitely understand the individuality within police officers and that not everyone is the same but I'm also not just talking about being busted for minor possession either, I mean there are more really fucked up things going on within our system than just weed being illegal.

In fact, I've never even been arrested for any drug related offense and I've been arrested on at least 12 different occasions the majority of which I was a minor. My biggest problem is probably with the juvenile justice system. The things that they put kids through are just wrong and no child should have to go through that shit.

Yeah we do need proper police services and I look forward to the day we see it. The way things are now though we should be dissenting and asserting our rights instead of bending over and allowing the police state to run our lives. People should stop displacing responsibility onto written legislation/dogmas/other irrelevant concepts that were ultimately designed by people who's wills be against us.

It seems like just about every other day I see a new story in the headlines about some dirty fucking pigs tazing a 90 year old woman or some lady in a wheel chair. Just the other week some cops got in trouble for tazing an entire field trip of children with several thousand volts and putting them all in the hospital. Of course, the scum didn't get in any real trouble and got off with some paid leave/slap on the wrist. How can you justify this shit? Seriously?

I know that there are good people that are cops just as there are bad people that smoke weed. I'm not trying to generalize like that. The real problem here is with the corrupt power that many of these individuals have stolen from us by taking advantage of our trust in them. And we allow them to get away with it.

Cops break the law just as often as we do and yet they all get away with it because they deem themselves above the laws they impose upon us. How many times have you heard about officers getting pulled over driving drunk just to flash their badge and get sent on their way? Or how about all the thousands of innocent people who have been murdered by police officers only to be slapped on the wrist and not held accountable for their actions whatsoever? Fred Hampton anybody?!! Fact of the matter is that they take care of their own and the law be damned.
