Busted Letter #122 - Police Brutality
Fri, Feb 15, 2008 2:29 pm
The 3 rouge-renegade cops must of thought I had a mattress full of cash which is why they beat me unconscious, then spent an hour or so ransacking my bus motor home. I live alone in a remote area with no neighbors in sight, so who knows what the cops took. After the sadistic cops laughingly sprayed mace in my face to wake me, it was off to the hospital for about 18 hours, then to jail. I enjoy smoking pot but can’t afford the sky high price so I grow my own. Who do you think is causing crime? A pot smoker who grows his own pot or coke-crack heads and pill users who have very expensive habits? When was the last time you heard of a pot smoker robbing a bank, pharmacy, store, house, or stealing purses from little old ladies? In a free country no pot smoker should get beat up by police for growing their own pot.
The type of pot I grow is a short-single stalk early maturing variety that rarely exceeds approximately 3 feet in height, which is why I could cram 156 plants in just 36 square feet. Since the government’s expert witness testified each plant to be worth $2,000, half being throw-away males, the eye-catching “$312,000 pot bust” in the local newspaper was yellow journalism at its best. Anybody who is gullible enough to believe 36 square feet can produce $312,000 worth of pot is an idiot. Obviously, there are a lot of gullible idiots in America, especially in government, who read and believe yellow journalism which is why pot was made illegal, and still is illegal.

On the other hand though (about the story, not the pot) he must have done something, cops must have just the slightest amount of heart to not beat the living shit out of a 52 yr old drunk (note the "drunk" part). Cuz I mean if he was 52 and drunk, he isn't even going to put up much of a fight even if he did try to hit a cop.

It is possible the cops just showed up and beat the shit out of him.... it is more likely he was drunk and tried to fight them and got verbally abusive. If I were a cop at the scene and saw 160 plants in a motor home I would spend a lot of time searching the rest of it as well.
The guy is whining and bitter that marijuana is, in fact, STILL ILLEGAL. Plea deals are NOT new news!! In the eyes of a cop, a weed grower is way better than a traffic stop because the weed is still a worse offense whether people like it or fucking not.
Its a shame this guy got beat up, but the bias only leads to getting broken down by the readers. He didnt even mention what he got charged with...

however, he was drunk, and 52... yea he'll put up a fight for his bud plot.
on the other hand. if the crooked cops seen he was drunk, who's the courts going to believe a drunk stoner? nah..
fuk the cops and fuk the snitches... now instead of growing bud when u get out.. u should just kill the ATV operator. aint nothin but a rat

That is certainly your call .
"I don't believe the busted letter section needs to degrade to a forum ..etc . "
Interesting belief . Myself and others believe differently.
" as neither of us were there we can never know what really happened " .... which is the point being made .
"also probable or not , rainy or otherewise , I certainly feel like Bush is pissing on me daily " Interesting spin but not really all that cute .
Re:To Below

I don't believe the busted letter section needs to degrade to a forum where, instead of offering advice, similar stories or condolences, we simply assume the author is a liar and it's our job to debunk his story.
Additionally, arguing about the probability/possibility in this particular case is a waste of our time as neither of us were there and can never know what really happened.
Also, probable or not, rainy or otherwise, I certainly feel like Bush is pissing on me daily.

Feb 19 2008, 2:04 pm
Whats more probable:
A drunk 52 yr old gets red when the cops show up and gets clocked in the process
OR
He was just sitting there minding his own business and some cops run in the door and just beat the shit out of him ?
Possible is a long way from probable .
example :
if you come in my front door sopping wet , its POSSIBLE that George Bush is on my roof pissing on people as the pass
OR
Its PROBABLY raining .
Wait a sec...
