What if the police redirected their efforts to terrorists instead of marijuana smokers?

Question

Right now we are in a state of basically world war III and we have radical muslims wanting to wipe america off the face of the planet.

Why can't our unlimited vast police resources be directed to stop terrorism instead of issuing speeding tickets and imprisoning marijuana smokers?

Could it be that the police are not concerned with terrorism as much as they are with marijuana smokers.

That's because marijuana smokers are cops $$$$$$$.

Without busting innocent u.s. civilians for smoking marijuana police would probably be unemployed and have no job and be homeless or on welfare and they certainly wouldn't be concerned about terrorists while the uneducated cops slept in cardboard boxes.

The cops have to keep busting Americans for pursing their right to happiness and liberty of enjoying the american dream so the ignorant, uneducated cops can live in a nice home and have a nice car.

It's purely economics. But seriously the cops need to go after terrorists with a vengeance.

I wonder if the cops will still be arresting and imprisoning American civilians for smoking marijuana once the Arabs start nuking out American cities.

The cops need to take all the dope sniffing dogs and sniff out bombs and explosives and trade in their radar detectors for geiger counters and stop our real dangers.

To keep the police in a good job we need to send the police to the Middle East to police terrorists that want to wipe out americans.

Lets see some real protecing and serving. Let's see how really brave and heroic the police really are.

I know it's not quite the same as sending 20 swat team members after a non violent unarmed marijuana smoker, but it would be mighty patriotic and show some real bravery.

Police always say how brave they are. I've seen their acts of bravery on the show cops when a couple of burly football player size cops drag out a 90 pound woman and beat the hell out of her.

Now that's really heroic.

In dissention of deputydea I say that if drugs were legalized then it would cut off a substantial lucrative opportunity to fund terrorists.

So what the cops are basically saying is that the police are funding terrorism because they won't legalize drugs.

The world is overpopulated. If people want to smoke drugs and die faster that's their perogative.

Hell, we let people drink themselves to death and smoke tobacco to death.

If the cops didn't make drugs illegal then the cost of drugs would be so cheap that their would be no black market and no opportunity for terrorists to get involved in the market.

If terrorists are getting into the market that's because American police have wiped out all American suppliers of drugs and only the terrorists are left.

So Police Officers, stop funding terrorism, legalize marijuana. The police only have themselves to blame if terrorists are getting funding from drugs.

Let's end this funding Officers, we don't want to die.

Now the police are saying that fighting the real dangers to America are not their job.

Busting people for smoking marijuana is their job.

Well, well, no wonder terrorists can blow up our buildings and bomb our cities because American police can cop out and just say it's not our job.

Well that's a piss poor attitutude.

I'm not a cop and if I saw a terrorist trying to blow up America I'd make it my job to kick his fu.c.k.ing .a.s.s. even after I got done smoking a joint.

I don't have that piss poor attitude of the police to say it's not my job to stop people from blowing america up.

So basically what the police are saying is that it's their priority to put non-violent marijuana smokers in prison for life and let the terrorists have open season on the United States.

I say to the cops that if you keep up this attitude you will soon have a rude awakening. You cops need to take ethics in school and philosophy and get some humanity for Christ's sake. Protect your country

Answer 1

Because these two ways of evil that will take over all the world.

Answer 2

"Why can't our unlimited vast police resources be directed to stop terrorism instead of issuing speeding tickets and imprisoning marijuana smokers?"

Because that's not thier job.

"Without busting innocent u.s. civilians for smoking marijuana ..." If you're smoking marijuana you're not an innocent citizen. It's still illegal.

"the ignorant, uneducated cops can live in a nice home..." uneducated? last I checked to be hired as a police officer you have to have at least a college degree...

If the US legalized pot that would just open the floodgates for more pot and other drugs that are far worse.We have a big enough problem as it is and legalization of pot would only confound the problem.

And If you don't like the laws in this country, by all means, move your dope smokin' @$$ to another one. It'll be one less problem we have to deal with.

Answer 3

Wow, you must like weed!! I know that isn't you in the pictures!

I think we have given Radical Muslims plenty of reasons to want to wipe us out! If we stopped stealing their resources, raping, killing and burning their 14 year-olds, and interfering in their lives, perhaps they would stop as well!

We have a great record! Castro, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Husein, the South Korean right-wing dictatorship after kicking Japan out!

I see the Republicans are still at it:

When, in 1950, Republicans sponsored an Internal Security Act for the registration of organizations found to be "Communist-action" or "Communist-front," liberal Senators did not fight that head-on. Instead, some of them, including Hubert Humphrey and Herbert Lehman, proposed a substitute measure, the setting up of detention centers (really, concentration camps) for suspected subversives, who, when the President declared an "internal security emergency," would be held without trial. The detention-camp bill became not a substitute for, but an addition to, the Internal Security Act, and the proposed camps were set up, ready for use. (In 1968, a time of general disillusionment with anti-Communism, this law was repealed.)

Move to where they don't know you and smoke all you want! We have plenty of space here!

It would seem the police bust more drug users than solve thefts! Have they ever found one!

Answer 4

Back in the late 70's we thought that reefer would be legalized soon. People in all social classes smoked. I partied with teachers(not mine), police officers(off duty) and just plain people. There was no danger then and there is no danger now when people smoke. OK maybe weight gain or driving too slow, but it doesn't kill people like alcohol. It doesn't lead to other drugs. It was originally made illegal to persecute Mexican workers in the Southwest in the 1930's. What happened to all of who grew up in the 60's and 70's? We are in the majority, but a small group of people in charge dictate policy. I think that it is completely economics that makes marijuana illegal. It's too hard to sell and tax a product that grows like a weed. Sure, you can make beer and wine at home so you don't have to pay taxes on them, but not many people do. Check out NORML. Quit brainwashing our children. I bet most negative replies to this will come from either people who went through DARE or parents who would rather let the schools?police raise their children. I have had a frank talk with my teens. The rule is NO IMPAIRED DRIVING. Maybe they will change their world from a police state to a free state.

Answer 5

Hmmm...I saw a documentary about the legalization of pot in Holland. They initially though this would be a great idea and would free up police resources. However, now according to the film, harder drugs are even more of a problem than they were before pot was legalized. Do you think that people just want to do what is dangerous (=not legal) so if pot were legal it would lose some of it's mystery and appeal making harder drugs more prevelant?

Answer 6

What about Radical Christians wanting to wipe out Iran?

Ask Pat Robertson or the Pope about it....They seem to know from experience.....

As for police fighting terrorists, that is really a bad idea.

I really don't want more of a Police State in America..than what it already has become.

Giving too much power to people is a mistake...just ask Congress.

Answer 7

I agree higher education should be required first before Police Academy training; especially in the Liberal Arts such as Literature, Philosophy, and History. I think they in general are lacking in a basic understanding of human suffering. With no offense meant- maybe they have progressed above it and see that others will also.

I think marijuana is illegal for a good reason, as it does cause memory impairment . .. unless that is caused by collective alcohol consumption and marijuana causes a person to begin to heal that memory impairment . .. . . . . . ..

As far as what they should be spending more time doing . ..how about more time spent ending the abuse of workers in the workplace by employers.. . .??????????????

Answer 8

Drugs are BIG money. When alcohol was abolished it created the big gangs in places like Chicago. If Alcohol had remained legal none of us would have ever heard of Al Capone. Pot was made illegal because of racism, same with opium. Blacks smoked pot and making it illegal gave the police one more reason to harass and arrest them. The Chinese had opium dens and the police needed a way to have them to break the law. Find out what the people choose to do and make it illegal and you make a whole new group of law breakers.

Answer 9

Ok, I think you turned this into a statement, but I would like to add, "what if police used marajuana to expose and extract info from the terrorists"! I'm sure we could get so much more infor out of them......cold room, Red Hot Chille Peppers and a joint....they'd be spillin'!

Answer 10

Nice avatar, forget about "the war on terrorism" and all that bullshi*t that the media and government feed us that's propaganda. Lets hit the beach, catch some rays, smoke a spliff and listen to some Bob Marley!

with the change of avatar, I take my invitation back, sorry im not into axe weilding, sheild wearing skeletor types!

Answer 11

I agree with you! Terrorists are really not police business but the governments according to them. However, police need to go after something else rather than Mary Jane smokers. Our jails/prisons are filled with people who like to get there smoke on and our streets are filled with @ssholes who want to rape and murder kids. But I do agree with you 110%!!!!
