    Why do cops always burn weed to destroy it rather than dunking it in bleach or seawater or any of the thousand things you can do to it to render it unusable?

      I was honestly thinking the same thing. Shit you could turn it into rope.

      Those evidence lockers are empty

        Local PD is involved in a roaring local scandal because over 50lbs of verious drugs were “misplaced” from lockup, and not a single thing has been publicly reported…

        Apparently one of the cops was joking about it with his friends, and one of the friends posted it to social media for about two hours before cops showed up at his house to “request” that he remove the post.

        So now everyone in town is talking about how the local PD are either saints who can do no wrong and this is all just a lIbRiL sEtUp, or how the local PD are operating like a gang, engaging in domestic terrorism, and casually taking drugs home for personal use.

        The way my mother in law talks, this is the first time a cop has ever done anything bad…

        I know damn well. Someone who knew police told me that when they do these type of stunts they invite the press and local councillors and hand out beer and then they all stand around waiting for the wind to “unpredictably” blow all the smoke all over the audience. Everyone winds up wrecked. Your tax at work in the great war against drugs.

          unpredictably

          LOL

          they could drop the drama and garner a lot more public support: rat out your local growers, we’ll burn it for everyone to enjoy!
