20 were arrested with felony charges, some for selling a single RX pill.

the families of these students will not be able to qualify for public housing because of this.

A couple of my friends were driving thru South Dakota and got stopped, probably because of the Oregon license plate and didn't have anything on them. The cop found a single oxy pill kind of smushed up between the seat. 10,000 dollars bail.

the way they go over the specifics of how cops are doing this to get more money from the state repulses me. It means we're now no better than Mexico or third world shitholes where locals just throw you in jail for bribes, only this ruins people's entire lives, possibly forever.

I'm so fucking horrified by this. I'm trying to not let this get to me, but it is so fucking out of control. Things like this, the 7% approval rating of Congress, global warming, the possible economic nosedive around the corner, and the for profit prison system make me think that there will be a very uncoordinated, very messy, very violent guerrilla resistance movement in the near future.

This made me cry and I couldn't watch past 4 minutes. My little brother is autistic and someone on the bus did the same thing: got him to buy him a playstation 2 and some games.. something along those lines. He did it because they'd be friends. I was thousands of miles away and thank god I was because I don't know what I'd do to that kid. My parents contacted his parents and without the law intervening everything was returned. Another time he was stopped by a Greenpeace canvasser who, for all I know didn't know his condition. It's not like they walk around with a big "A" on their chests, but he kind of scammed him for more money than anybody would give to Greenpeace. Or any organization. On the streets in broad daylight.

In comparison, both of those fuckers are saints compared to this fucking cop.

Its coming.

We had narcs at my high school too, but to be honest it was about as obvious as homer simpson trying to fit in at Hullapalooza or wearing the large hat. They'd ask to follow me around because I was a bit of an outsider and hung out at Hamburger Mary's and the Burnside Skatepark with my friends instead of whatever people do after school. Fact is, I just wanted to play chess drink soda pop and skateboard. He'd talk about drug slang with me, and we'd discuss cheech and chong or how to make a pipe out of an apple.. things like that. But I always left. And I just so happened to be straightedge back then so whatevs Mr. Cop.

I knew a bunch of trappers then though, and was hanging out with them so we'd leave. He was actually a good skateboarder but we kind of saw thru the bullshit right away. But like I said he was wearing a Pearl Jam 10 shirt. If you're from Portland in the 90s you automatically hated Pearl Jam. Sorry Pearl Jam fans, nothing against your band but it was a Seattle thing. Or at least at my high school it was. I asked him to name 3 Pearl Jam songs and he couldn't do it. Sketch from the start.

The problem is now you have the potential to tap into what kids like, especially in your region, and could learn that in less than a day.
