Well that's something that's been happening since the advent of cities. No one should be surprised if this turns out to be true.

I totally agree with what you are saying, however whenever you involve the ,gov, they want their cut.
A number of States have legalized marijuana, however the State taxes on the marijuana only make the black market increase, not decrease. When you decide to apply a 110% tax on a questionably "Legal" product someone's going to cheat.
Think of it this way, If Al Capon was allowed to sell a $10.00 dollar bottle of whiskey in Chicago, but he had to charge $21.00 and give eleven to the State, how long would Al play along before selling his $10.00 bottles for $15.00 and make an additional profit and an increase in customers because he's the only guy with $15.00 bottles of whiskey?
The problem is with legalization, you have to have some non-greedy people with common sense and a far ranging view of economic cause and effect.
So that aint happening any time soon.

The people who pushed legalization BEGGED to be taxed, you can only blame the government so much for giving them what they wanted.

The money-oriented argument that I am most familiar with is that enforcement of cannabis prohibition costs the tax payer flaming piles of money, thus simply treating it like any other good will allow that money to be better spent. No need for special taxes. Of course, governments are greedy, and Karen will need a nicer parking lot at her kid’s school in exchange for a majority agreeing that state and local cops won’t participate in shooting people (and their dogs) over a drug that is basically everywhere.

Well think about that for a minute and ask yourself why?
Because as I stated earlier, I'm sure Al Capone would have agreed to the same sort of taxing, the black market will open up immediately. Once that weed goes in to an unmarked baggie, how do you know if it was taxed or not?

I’m perfectly willing to hold out the possibility that Taylor was running dirty, but it doesn’t look good when the AG’s office is putting their thumb on the scales.

It really doesn't matter if she was or wasn't. If the officers were acting in good faith, it's hard to find reason to charge them for homicide. It's even harder to charge when the evidence shows that they were fired upon and returned fire. I think the biggest thing at stake here is policy regarding search warrants, and that puts a lot of the blame for this on the judge, rather than solely on these cops.

I wondering if the grand jury was given a chance to consider rape charges or money laundering charges?? They only present the charges they are going after. Did they bring up potential charges against the boyfriend for shooting the officer? No? Probably because, like homicide charges against the officers, the case has little chance of actually being successful.


The two officers at the front door who were shot at have the law on their side for why they shot back. They third guy blindly firing through a side door or window or whatever has a hard time justifying that action.

The grand jury can narrow or broaden the indictment.

You do bring up a good point though, because why convene a grand jury if the only thing that matters is the desire of the state. Same issue with the actual trial as well.
