NYPD Union Prez: Reducing Pot Arrests Signals Breakdown of Society

[green73]

Reported efforts to begin following through on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s 2013 election promise to reduce marijuana arrests in the city has distressed Sergeants Benevolent Association police union President Ed Mullins. Mullins is quoted Wednesday in the New York Post lamenting that “If the current practice of making arrests for both possession and sale of marijuana is, in fact, abandoned, then this is clearly the beginning of the breakdown of a civilized society.”

The city’s apparent move to reduce the number of marijuana arrests comes soon after an October joint report of the Drug Policy Alliance and the Marijuana Arrest Research Project publicized that the number of marijuana possession arrests in New York City were on track to remain the same under de Blasio’s leadership, or even increase, compared to arrests under Michael Bloomberg, the preceding mayor.

It's always amusing to read the text of a dying idea by selfish asshole statists. The same crap was said when alcohol prohibition was showing signs of ending.

Here...fixed this for you, president welfare queen. Now get your hands out of our pockets and go find a job in the private sector you worthless, unneeded, revenue generating cunt.


“If the current practice of breaking apart families over a plant our founders embraced that is safer than tobacco and alcohol is abandoned, then this is clearly the end of the breakdown of a civilized society.”

Union dues for mr. fancy pants to collect shrink when there are less cops are on the street policing something that doesn't need to be policed. Nobody is buying your bullshit anymore Ed, except for maybe two dying generations of voters.

First, it was breastfeeding in public. Now, it's weed. What happens when people start taking a whizz in public?

This is truly frightening.

I agree with this gentlemen. Not being able to arrest innocent people who were simply enjoying one of the plants god put on this Earth is clearly a sign of the end times for America and it's time to start nailing your windows shut and barring your doors.

Fuck him.
