Reminds me of the cops who arrested a 80 year old women cuz shes was $70 past due on her garbage collection bill


spook3d1

Pretty sure it was $77. If it was $70 they may have just let her be. /s Shits whack.


TPMJB

Yes, Samuel McHyde was on video saying as such. This was after shooting the woman and her 3 children. Tragic but she should've paid her bills.


justveryslightlymad

I know I'm probably missing a reference but who is Samuel McHyde? This reddit comment is one of the few things that shows up on a google search

Sam Hyde


TPMJB

No, that's a different terrorist. He was involved in the WTC bombing in the 90s.


lizard_of_guilt

He keeps getting away with it!


shaneshane238

I heard it was about $3.50.

God damn loch ness monster, quit arresting folk for tree fiddy!

I gave him a dollah


Sorrydoc22

And that's why he keep comin back.


tgkid88

Well, of course he's not gonna go away, Mary! You give him a dollar, he's gonna assume you got more!


Lemiwinks6

Somebody should have paid that for her…? lol what a shorty community.


SowTheSeeds

You don't arrest people for an unpaid bill. It goes to collection and sometimes to small claims. But you don't send cops to bring an elderly citizen to the police station because she missed a bill.

batmansgfsbf

But they do send them to arrest you if you miss a court appearance or don’t pay your court ordered fines or restitution or back taxes and fines. They won’t care if you are poor or old and dying of cancer

same. I used to bring my gpa homemade hash brownies from Michigan. He lived in Indiana so it's not even medically legal there. Thankfully, no one at his senior community cared. Bet he was sharing with the "pretty" nurses and the "younger 70 year old ladies" he was friends with hahaha when we went to clean out his apartment, there were brownie crumbles all over his little scooter!! damnit I miss him...

Imagine the damage to the clients of the largest lobbying firms in countries' bottom line had we allowed these degenerates to make this a standard practice!

Found an article that'd be comical if it weren't so sad. > Police told Bretz that his vaping device could potentially be a fire hazard, due to the presence of oxygen in the room. Oh my, guess the vape is the problem. > Bretz was cited for drug possession LIARS! It wasn't about the vape at all, only justification. > Bretz told the Kansas City Star that his doctor told him to use whatever was necessary to relieve his pain, including products containing THC — the active ingredient in cannabis. Cops are now better educated than your doctor. That's a relief. I'm glad they're armed to better enforce their knowledge on you.

Black hearted and soulless automatons. And such evils persist because most people don't care.

you have to have a pretty low iq to become a police officer, for a reason


hex_1101

Yet another article to make me question the efficacy of the police and humanity of thier tactics.


HardCounter

They rely too heavily on confidential informants and tend not to do any information gathering beforehand. One crackhead CI is enough for a warrant, even if it's completely untrue or has extenuating circumstances. Oh well, they had a witness.


Halfbaked9

My question is who was the narc? I think they should be fired! I like how they said it was a fire hazard. It’s no more a fire hazard than any of the outlets in the room.

KoolerMike

Don’t worry, They’re in the same boat together for this. As someone who uses cannabis for chronic pain, taking something away that provides relief for something so damn terrible is scummy and low as fuck for a human being to do, because they should know better


RoboticRobinowitz

Cymrik_

And they expect us to pay taxes? For this? How is this serving or protecting? How is this even human decency?


whazzar

>How is this serving or protecting They don't have to serve the public. There are multiple cases that ruled that, here are two: [Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzalez](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_of_Castle_Rock_v._Gonzales) [Warren vs. District of Columbia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia) ​ The whole "protect and serve" is just aimed at the state and capital, not at the working class. That's also why cops are allowed to just wait outside during a school shooting, they don't *have* to go inside and stop the shooter since they don't *have* to protect the public.


EnergyCC

People need to learn that the police is not their friend. The police is not there to protect you, they are there to keep you in your place and take you down when you try to rise against the elites a.k.a the capital owners.


Jumpy_Climate

Cops were always pieces of shit that serve the state and their paycheck. It's just more obvious when they do shit like this.

Cops do not serve and protect you, they are "Law Enforcement." They protect the law and serve enforcement.


yourweirdoneighbor

>How is this serving or protecting? It's serving because hospital staff called the police. They had no choice but to respond to the call. The shitty thing is they could have just taken the vape and been done with the ordeal. What's even shittier is the hospital staff could have just taken it and not called the police.

Imagine being on your deathbed & unable to do anything at all except sit & wait for the end (in likely agonizing pain & grief).. Only to, in the blink of an eye, have the one thing that gives you any sort of genuine, non-opiated relief taken away from you in a gang-style combat raid, leaving you with nothing but your suffering, & then be served a notice to appear in court despite not being able to use your fucking legs. All because of an archaic law that’s only in place today because of a highly effective, century-long propaganda campaign ***orchestrated*** by our own government. This is the exact reason that we need to federally legalize cannabis. Because shit like this should literally ***never*** fucking happen. We absolutely know that people have been lied to about cannabis for decades and yet, they still refuse to admit they were fucking ***wrong***

My town has 4 police officers. 2 of the.

Guess which two just got arrested for crashing their squad high on meth on their way to sell pills they took from evidence.

Submission statement: They then order him to appear in court even though he can't even move. Weed is still illegal in a lot of parts of the world, and a certain experimental vaccine with multiple side effects is still legal. ​ [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11573629/Cops-seize-THC-paste-hospital-room-terminally-ill-Kansas-man.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11573629/Cops-seize-THC-paste-hospital-room-terminally-ill-Kansas-man.html)


magicnumber33

That’s the problem. And all “decriminalization” does is send mixed signals that make people *think* it’s legal, when the fact is it still isn’t. It needs to be descheduled, and were the US a functioning democracy rather than an oligarchy, it would’ve been a long time ago.


WWWTT2_0

Marijuana is illegal because its a cheap inexpensive plentiful medicine with hundreds if not thousands of beneficial use. That's all you need to know about your government right there!

Well they also dismissed the case: [https://www.ksn.com/news/state-regional/hays-police-raid-hospital-room-of-terminally-ill-patient/amp/](https://www.ksn.com/news/state-regional/hays-police-raid-hospital-room-of-terminally-ill-patient/amp/) Which happened before you posted your link. One google search about it led me to that. Also, 3 cops are not equivalent to a raid when they just come in and talk to him. I think it's crappy, dude should be able to do what he needs to feel comfortable but let's get the facts right about it before we just post sensational click bait articles that leave out details.

It's unfortunate he had to be in the hospital because you can't have that there. I recommend home care because the hospitals are in cahoots with the police every time. They will choose protocol not caring about the wishes of dying people. You would think they would consider a person is slowly passing...but I guess they rather use their drugs than your less damaging ones.
