Cops Seize 106 Pounds Of Marijuana… But Turns Out It Wasnâ€t Marijuana After All
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – When is a big drug bust not a big drug bust?
The NYPD 75th Precinct took to Twitter on Tuesday to brag about 106 pounds of marijuana it seized from a delivery “destined for our city streets.†One problem: That “marijuana†turned out actually to be legally-grown hemp from licensed Vermont farmers, bound for a CBD store in Brooklyn.
The hemp contained no significant level of the THC component that gives cannabis its narcotic effects.
The tweet showed a photo of two officers surrounded by dozens of plant-filled bags displayed on several tables.

Officers Greenidge and Ganshaw from the @NYPD75Pct used precision policing and relentless follow-up, along with a great working relationship with @FedEx and other local law enforcement officials, to confiscate 106 pounds of marijuana that was destined for our city streets.

This is one place where Pitch and I will always agree, at least in terms of THC and CBD/Hemp. Legalize it. Tax it. Have some level of control over it's transport and production, and don't criminalize people making a living off the soil.
I have quite a few friends who grow here in southern Oregon...even with it being legal all over the west coast there are horror stories to be told

Strutting around like it was a big deal. Â Getting weed off the streets! Â What is this, 1969? Â Embarrassing on multiple levels. Â Now we start the shot clock on how long it takes for the folks to get their property back.

These are justified criticisms of cops. Lame.

Pitch seems to glory in stories that show the police looking bad. What a sad life.....that's what I find of people who glory in other's failures.

Am I the only one who laughed at the 'C4' vending machine? Yes, I know it's not dispensing C4, but this kind of 'blew up' in the NYPD's face.
The America, and the American Military, that you once knew is gone.

You beat me to it. Did the police screw up, yes, were they trying to celebrate what they thought was a victory, yes. Did they look foolish, yes. Does Pitch show his absolute hatred as if the police do nothing good, yes. I am telling you Pitch is HT jr. His hatred just shows through differently. Quite sad really

This is the sort of thing that the anti-cop crowd should be focusing on, instead of crying about them shooting violent thugs in the ghetto.
Shooting violent thugs in the ghetto is precisely what they should be doing instead of executing no knock warrants on someone for their harmless botanical practices.

I don't hate cops in general. Do I think, due to early brainwashing at an elementary school level, we believe that cops are our friends, are always the good guys and are just here to help us? Yes. Is what we're told true? No.
I've posted positive police stories in the past but, like most other topics, most of the things discussed here are stories about poor behavior or bad choices (see the story about the ISIS lady).
My issue is the lack of accountability when police mess up and the fact that they're allowed, for no good reason, to operate under different rules than we are. If I was doing 94mph in my 'vette and hit an SUV, would I get away without absolutely no consequence? No speeding ticket? No reckless driving? No fine? No points on my license? Nothing?
Hello no.

Hello no.
I don't think people are just disagreeing with you in a knee-jerk fashion, it's your obsession with all things bad cop. As mentioned by others previously, it's akin to HT's race obsession. Nothing wrong with making some comments and threads here and there, but...  teach that pony more than one trick. There are other topics at hand. Just dial it down a notch or 2. I mean, within this thread you have most of us agreeing with you. You don't have to convince us that cops make some major mistakes. We're all well aware.

No I stand by my comments he is HT jr. He hates just as much but he just approaches it in a more sophisticated fashion where HT just blurts it out and leaves no doubt. Don't get me wrong though, I do like Pitch. Actually I really like him as a poster and he makes me think.
