This is true, and these cops should have better things to do than catching kids with marijuana. Maybe we have too many cops.
Maybe we need to end the war on weed? I'm stating the obvious of course, because had we not have this silly war on a plant, you wouldn't hear s*** like this! Perhaps if Americans would wake the f*** up, and stop playing partisan hackery and the "my party is better than your party crap" and vote out all of these politicians who keep prohibition alive, it will sink in that they work for us, and not their elitist friends that they pander to.
So who is(or was) the greater risk to society? The kid who smoked pot, or the cop who kills people who drive away from him?

Without question. And now a kid is dead because of a little weed, and the cop is still on the job, free to kill again over a little weed. It's unconscionable that we, as a society, keep letting cops like this off the hook.
I mean, the kid acted stupidly, but at the same time, I can't really blame him. He'd has a criminal record for smoking a plant that probably going to be legal in the next decade or two. The cop was in absolutely no way in any sort of danger.
And more. Notice how the prosecutor thought it was important to note that the kid had the word "outlaw" tattooed on his arm as if having that tattoo helped to justify his killing. And even noted his text messages too, as if that made his killing more appropriate.
As usual, the DA's office will do anything possible to justify LE shootings.

Tenth Circuit Solicitor Chrissy Adams, the prosecutor who decided that state criminal charges against Tiller were not appropriate, conceded that the video, "viewed at full speed, standing alone, is troublesome." I think she meant troubling, but the slip is revealing:
This is a huge conflict of interest. A prosecutor needs the police force to be on their good side to continue to get re-elected. If they tick off the police force and the police force quits working with them they lose their job.
These type of cases need removed from any sort of single local control.
Yes. End the war on drugs and lots of LE would have nothing to do, so we can reduce LE by half.
Or perhaps we could have more people concentrating on real crimes? I can't see the negative in concentrating on murders as opposed to some kid smoking a little weed.
