Reply #122: Puhleeze, hell here in Missouri the Highway Patrol [View All]

Went out and spent five million dollars every summer for "pot" irradication. Trouble was, the pot they were irradicating, 98% of it, was ditch weed, old hemp crops left over from Missouri's hemp growing glory days. The cops knew they were wasting money, the governor and legislature knew they were wasting money, the public knew also. They still went ahead and did it. And they would still be doing it now, if it wasn't for the tightening of the state budget, and the recession of '01.

Sorry, but this sounds like more cowboy cops. Apparently after this fiasco was over, they went over and arrested the guy they were supposed to with no problem, no gunplay, he didn't even flee when he had a chance.

Sorry , but this looks like another case of cops gone wild.
