Yeah, but this guy was probably sucking money up left and right. The pills he sells were probably paid for by medicare and possibly collecting social security that he never paid into and or welfare.

Monpo, The police are getting paid to be police whatever the assignment that day might be.They didn't make an EXTRA 10,000 for doing this work, what you say is like saying that if they hadn't busted this guy the policemen wouldn't have gotten paid this week.
Monponsett [Member] writes:
No.
What I'm saying is that they spent more money on the investigation than they took off the street in the value of the drugs. The town's finances would have been better served if they just spent $3000 and bought the guy out.

Yeah, but they make a ton of money for the State Corporation and various co-conspirators this way...lawyers and court fee's up the ass. Since he has no money he'll probably end up in jail.
Meanwhile, the Pharmaceutical Industry is raking in the dough...since we like to get high--it's in our nature.
The most vicious campaign against humanity is this stupid Drug War.
And informants and under-cover cops...it's entrapment. And they do what they want--use drugs if they want. It's a waste of people's lives for the sin of getting high.

You post so many fantastic statements that
they just s-c-r-e-a-m for a rebuttal.
Please stop damning the cops, the system, the Gov't
because there's people involved in all
that and you're really dragging them
down and generating so much gd depression
for the public, it's practically cancerous.
The cops have to take the suspect's "rights"
into consideration in today's PC-saturated world.
Years ago -wether it was drugs or anything else-
they would simply grab the perp,
the evidence, give it to the DA's office
and the process was 50% finished.
Now there's so many considerations that a cop
practically has to go to college
to do a school crossing detail.
And including this:
".since we like to get high--it's in our nature."
in a post like the one you made
may tempt the reader to a conclusion
you may not agree with or appreciate.
I'm not trying to get personal,
but you're the one throwing the stones in every direction...

So, we have to pay for his lawyer, the lawyers/judge/bailiff to prosecute him, and board/feed him for his jail term. Those 3 grand worth of drugs are costing about 30 grand to take off the street at this point.
Nothing against cops, mind you... I'd make the same basic comment if the dealer spent 30 grand to buy 3 grand worth of drugs.
Of course, the dealer would be out of business if he operated like that... while the DPD seems to be quite proud of what they've done.

Look at the bigger picture, someone could have overdosed and died
Monponsett [Member] writes:
Or they could have been a few cops short when they needed the stakeout guys, and someone could die there, too.
I understand what you're saying, though... it's not like they can IGNORE drug dealing, even if it's a small-timer.

MargarineBunny21, cops don't go to college. That's part of the problem, not part of the solution. Some of them are sado-masochistic bullies and trigger-happy. Some have lead feet. Some of them are illiterate, unable to wread or rite Englishe--if you catch my drift? Some of them actually plant drugs on innocent victims and then testify falsely under oath in courts of law--which is a felony offense, in case you were wondering.
So maybe it's back to the drawing-board for you, MargarineBunny. I wish Hillary the Rod would overdose and die. (Only kidding,... I meant Billary!?!) You're worried about the 'war on drugs'; I'm worried about the War on Thugs. You OK, Marge?

Hey Wiseguy-
Where did I post that I was worried
about "The War on Drugs?"
Would you mind pointing out WHERE?
Get your damn facts straight

any high-school could type!

If "cops don't go to college" then why is
the QUINN BILL such an issue in Mass?
Ever hear of it?

I'm not unfamiliar with Federal Law.
And that's quite a list you've posted,
but for an accusation of such scope
you've got no statistics or links to
back it up.
Some of it could be hearsay, though I doubt all of it is.
"So maybe it's back to the drawing-board for you, MargeBunny21."
Not really.
I'd rather post here to expose people who don't know what they're talking about.

Hey Marge, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Guys like this usually
do a little song-and-dance
when their pointless statements
are so easily defeated.
But one undeniable
similiarity is that
they never, EVER admit it.
And the phrase you're trying to quote is:
I'd rather have a FULL bottle in front of me than a FULL frontal lobotomy.
You can have a lobotomy if you want....just don't post like it.

Your every post testifies/reinforces this declaration.
And the link you posted reads "Page Not Found."
Don't believe me? Try it!
Obfuscator (god I hate spelling that) stumbles with his logic.
Worse than some people do with reality.
Next time you do
