How many of you have been personally --or known somebody-- affected by this phenomenon? Any of you cops reading this know others who have lied because politicians have brainwashed you into thinking that winning the War on Drugs is more important than being truthful and honest?

The motion-pictures "An Innocent Man" (Tom Selleck) and "Training Day" (Denzel Washington) are NOT so far-fetched.

They do their best to cover up these atrocities but every now and then the really outrageous ones get their 15 minutes of infamy but, alas, Americans are more concerned about sports and celebrity gossip than holding their public servants accountable for their actions.
Then, of course, there is the hapless, HARMLESS pot-smoker who gets pulled over because out the fictitious burned-out tail-light and the officers search the car because they "thought" they smelled marijuana when they really didn't...as if people aren't allowed to "drive-while-being-black" or grow long hair/dreads and have a jam-band (Grateful Dead, Phish) sticker on their bumper and not be harassed. But in the "Land of the Free" EVERYbody is SUSPECT:

Because they work for an EVIL and MALEVOLENT system and, like the above person wrote, "They are only following their orders and procedures" just like the "GOOD GERMANS" from 1933-45.
``God bless America?'' What the phuque? Does anybody ACTUALLY believe the Almighty would bless an evil and UNHOLY union of quasi-totalitarian POLICE STATES?
The badge is nothing but a LICENSE TO STEAL, too.

I personaly have been put in a stituation, where a police officer
lied and also lied in court. And in the end the officer got caught in her lie's. I think she felt that just because she has a badge that she is above telling the truth. A officer,has a duty to do there job
but not at the sake of the people to get a conviction. Its a choice to lie or to tell the truth. So quit blaming other people . They all dont lie, but the ones that do look out! OH buy the way i was found innoncent in the end.

They get a lot of training listening to criminals and traffic violators trying to lie their ways out of something.
It is also a proven fact that the "war on drugs" is almost a complete failure.
It isn't that they lie so much about drugs, it is what they are required to say. They are only following their orders and procedures.
