As someone who knows this situation personally, let me just say that most of the things that you have "heard" from these articles aren't even true. Yes, he was arrested and charged with trafficking, but the details being released through the media are completely exaggerated...as I'm sure most things are. I agree that what this person may or may not have done is wrong, but it also isn't the WORST thing that a person could do. Like some of you have said, marijuana doesn't kill people....it isn't crack, heroin, or any of those other "hard-core" drugs. You are all so quick to write someone of by saying "good for the police...he got what he deserves." This seems very unfair considering that none of you know him or the situation.You haven't considered that fact that he has a family who needs him and that all the police are trying to do at this point is strip him of every possession that he has. The system is very corrupt, and you really have no idea until it happens to you. I'm sure that if you knew the details on how the police handled themselves in this case, your opinion of them would change.
