  And that's why the police want cannabis to be illegal.
context: This reminds me of how the idiot Tallahassee Police Department negligently and recklessly arranged a transaction that led to the murder of Rachel Hoffman. >
  
  
  The purported goal of the operation was to buy 1,500 ecstasy pills, 2 oz. of cocaine, and two handguns, which was contrary to department policy, using $13,000 cash in a buy–bust operation. Hoffman's family stated that all three buys were very out-of-character for her.
  
  This part infuriates me. How incredibly incompetent do you have to be to not see this is a bad idea? Obviously, the dealer is going to be immediately suspicious when their regular weed customer suddenly says “oh by the way, this time I also want to buy a fuckload of hard drugs that I can definitely afford somehow and some guns too because this party is gonna be nutzzz” like how in the actual fuck did they think it was going to play out? >
  
  Coercing a person to do your bidding under threat of imprisonment because they possessed 6 ounces of weed and 4 ecstasy pills also does not sit right with me. >
  
  Best part about it is that none of it actually guarantees you immunity or even leniency. Best the cops can do is “put in a good word” with the prosecutor. >

  Which they absolutely won't. Cops think of suspects as subhuman. My aunt(former cop) once told me she believes cops have the right to shoot a fleeing suspect. 
  Fuck the police >
  
  Even the cop’s quote about this incident proves your point “she was an addict” so we didn’t give a shit about what happened to her.   How about getting someone’s daughter who is in a bad way some help you piece of shit >
  
  That quote made my stomach turn!
  
  “We’ve always done it this way,” Parker said. “She was an addict and we just used her as an informant like we’ve done a million times before. Looking back, it’s easy to say, ‘What if?’”
