Read the whole article because it’s hilarious.

Not saying drugs haven’t ruined lives, but the war on drugs has ruined far more.
It’s nice that this time, we can just laugh at it. It’s not like all the other times where they beat up a black guy and shot his dog for allegedly counterfeiting a twenty.
Alcohol has ruined far more lives than the drugs the “war” is based on.
Tobacco as well.
True. But at least we get the occasional comedy out of it.
Like the DARE program!
I think pretty much every kid I knew who went through D.A.R.E. in middle school (including me) ended up smoking a lot of weed in high school.
D.A.R.E. shirts were a status symbol, but not for the reason they would have liked.
Even D.A.R.E. knew it wasn’t actually effective, but they had sold it to enough lawmakers to get it written into education requirements and the steady stream of money meant they defended it until the end.
The sheriff and head of our county DARE program awarded me an award for the best anti-drug essay when I was 10. He committed suicide after getting busted on drug and corruptions charges years later. I’ve been smoking weed pretty regularly since I was 17 and using psychedelics yearly since I was 20
Everyone who grew up with that was finally exposed to a drug setting–a party, some acquaintance, something. They watched these people do the drug and maybe participated out of curiosity and suddenly realized that the whole DARE thing was just a bunch of propaganda that had nothing to do with reality.
I’m not surprised by the rubber stamped warrant. Cop shops are known to shop for judges that will just stamp off. I’m sure they didn’t mention that it was a MRI business but the odor of weed even combined with high energy usage shouldn’t be enough for a raid IMO. There should be some other evidence, especially in LA where it smells like weed pretty much anywhere.
I’m curious how this will go. I assume LA will settle out of court because they don’t want a precedent set that they actually going to be responsible for private property damage during raids.
I can tell you one thing- the police union won’t be paying.
Why did he leave the magazine though? What if he would have encountered some pet dogs later that day?
Wait, but… It’s California? They don’t even do grow ops in la, they do it less than a day’s ride up the coast? You know, the biggest weed producers in the country? Hombolt?
Hey, y’all need to chill out. The cops have qualified immunity because they are better trained and educated than the average civilian. Y’all think this was a medical imaging center!? You don’t know that! They could have been growing dangerous Marijuana that immigrated here illegally from Mexico to eat the dogs and cats!
Thank God our boys in blue took the time to clear this potentially dangerous building of any possible threats! That MRI machine nearly got one of them until they disarmed and detained it!
Just another dangerous day on the job!
They were absolutely trying to bust an MRI center, but were disappointed and confused when it didn’t mean Marijuana Resonance Imaging
Do you know how racist you’re being right now?
It’s the Haitians who eat the dogs and cats. The Mexicans take all of our jobs.
Get it right. Jeez.
High energy usage and a smell of cannabis. If they got a warrant for this raid then there was also a judged who fucked up.
“Why would a MEDICAL IMAGING FACILITY have a high power draw? I BET THEY ARE GROWING WEED IN THE MRI MACHINE!”
Maybe it helps people not to move so much inside?
Wow that’s like a circus lmao
The judge that signed the warrant needs to be removed from the bench as completely incompetent. A simple inquiry into the type of business would have resolved the power consumption issues and belie the weed smell as the lie it was.
Some days I feel like the only thing I can do to make a difference is become a cop and do nothing but arrest wealthy people and state that their property was used in the furtherance of a crime. Just start doing asset forfeiture against everyone and anything that currently believes themselves insulated.
Hell, become a cop and use asset forfeiture on the police station because we have public record of the crimes they’ve perpetrated.
All this to find some weed. Like why even bother?
Because if they find any cash they will take it, even if there are no drugs!
So very true.
Proof that Magneto would win if you bring guns.
As if the bus station scene in X-man 1 wasn’t proof enough. Leave it to the police to test trusted truths and make asses of themselves.
Idk, he might still be mentally scarred from that time someone brought a wooden gun.
I’ve never seen this. Legitimately hilarious!
This is the dumbest damned thing I’ve read about all month. What the absolute fuck???
Don’t forget – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LASD_deputy_gangs
There’s enough to make a list?!
In most metro areas even.
- “Look out, it’s got a gun!!”
[police open fire for 5 minutes]I forgot that the cop resigned. Good.
Resigned? Be should have been fired. At.
“The only thing that stops a bad MRI with a gun is a good MRI with a gun.”
The icing on the donut:
The officer then grabbed his rifle and left the room, leaving behind a magazine filled with bullets on the office floor, according to the lawsuit.
Literally just a legally-sanctioned gang at this point.
At all points. It was a gang that
started wearingwas given badges, not a ‘serve and protect’ force that (d)evolved into a gang.Well I can only speak for where I grew up (not CA) in the 90s, and police were far less militarized back then.
They may have always been racist pieces of shit, but things are definitely much worse than they were back then.
Oh, that’s def true, headlines about military equipment being bought by normal USA police departments keep popping up.
The militarisation def doesn’t help with the problem.
But I was referring more to the start, the colonial and early independent era, what existing groups were recruited/rebranded into the first police departments.
A gang would get rid of anyone that incompetent.
True. It’s like if a street gang had really good PR and a super corrupt “union” to run cover for them.
