Brownshirt Pigss Arrest man for Being a Democrat

[Joe234]

Out of curiosity, what constitutes real police work? I ask because I hear it worded that way so much.

It constitutes ending prohibition so our police can focus on crime
such as theft and violence instead of what someone chooses to
put in their body. That is something a true tea bagger should
appreciate. Personal liberty of one's body. To me real police
work does not involve wasting time and resources chasing people
who grow and smoke the hemp plant. And I support legalizing
all drugs as does LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.

I'd love to see how the Mexican drug cartels and all gang bangers
would function without any drug profits.

LEAP - Law Enforcement Against Prohibition - Cops Say Legalize Drugs

Criminal justice professionals speaking out against the War on Drugs.

LEAP Statement of Principles

1. LEAP does not promote the use of drugs and is deeply concerned about the extent of drug abuse worldwide. LEAP is also deeply concerned with the destructive impact of violent drug gangs and cartels everywhere in the world. Neither problem is remedied by the current policy of drug prohibition. Indeed, drug abuse and gang violence flourish in a drug prohibition environment, just as they did during alcohol prohibition.

Joe you are completely lost... Police work is not about ending prohibition.

Real police work is about enforcement of laws. LEAP is about getting those laws changed.

Cops can not pick and choose which laws they want to enforce.

Also LEAP doesn't represent the views of all police, a lot of police support the war on drugs.

I don't understand how your answer has anything to do with the question Condor asked?

The only one lost is you. Who appointed you the professor?

[Condor]

Well... Agree to disagree I suppose. I was going to write some long response but I suppose there's no point to that.

I am curious what the tea parties official stance is on the war on drugs. Rather than being about old school property rights and personal liberties, they strike me as being ultra socially conservative, so something tells me they arent down with legalization. Does anyone know where they stand on this?


I think drugs are terrible, and they have ruined my life, but i agree with pot legalization prop 19 for example because i dont think the gov should have the power to regulate what adults put in their body. It seems like a simple case of personal liberty, where one should have the right to choose if they want to partake in it or not. As long as it doesnt infringe on anyone elses rights than i dont see how the government can regulate it in the way they currently do.


But joe, justin is right, cops cant pick and choose what laws they want to enforce. That would lead to chaos. They simply uphold the laws that are currently on the books, regardless of how they personally feel about them. Like any citizen, they can try to lobby gov to change the rules, but they cant be blamed for doing their jobs, people have families to feed.

Joe, I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out clearly enough, so here goes: are you aware that there are at least 2 well-liked and respected members of snuson who work in drug enforecement? Telling them they should be doing "real police work" isn't earning you any respect. You have your card, you can smoke your pot under Oregon law, and you can disagree wth whatever laws we currently have on the books. Just don't insult people like that who risk their lives to make sure your neighbor's meth lab doesn't explode in his daughter's face, or do their best to put away that 12th Street Crip who's rocking up 3 kilos of cocaine to sell to hapless crackheads and make more money doing so than you make all year. Sure, if all drugs were legal that crip or that meth cook *might* be out of business. But do you want crack and meth available at a despensary?

These guys I refer to are not breaking down doors to tell dudes like you and me to put the bong down and get on the floor. I'm not supportive of the majority of our drug laws either, and yeah I smoke weed, but I also don't appreciate the many crackheads and dealers who lurk outside my office everyday, and until a solution comes to pass, show some respect to folks who are doing their job, making an honest living, and trying their best to stop an epidemic that is wrecking places like your town, which I believe is good ol' Corvalis, Oregon. METH. Speaking of Corvalis, **** the Beavers, go Ducks! Lol.
