were the cops buying or selling the drugs?

1237-They do both as undercovers.

They also pose as cab drivers and exploit drunk people in cabs by asking where they can get some drugs.

Looks like to me they are also cracking down on "ugly". And I'm not so sure they are selling. Wouldn't THAT defeat the goal of insuring "public safety"? If they sold drugs and that person used them, drove away and killed someone in a vehicle accident (one of many possible scenario's), WHO would be responsible? Before you say "the drug user", then explain why bartenders are held responsible for selling too much alcohol to someone who kills a family in a drunk driving incident...and FYI, undercover cops USE drugs all the time. They SAY they don't but its hard (very hard) to fake snorting a line of coke, or smoking a joint. I always enjoy cops saying "we have to break the law to enforce it"....Even funnier? "We don't break the law, its not made for us..." How's my punctuation and grammar?

WE NEED THEIR RELEASE DATES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.Will we be notified of when they are turned loose pending trial,if and when they are turned loose? Why is it always about apprehending these so called bad people and never any mention about the authorities'decision to once again turn them loose on the public? That would give us a heads up on who to watch out for.

I wonder how much drugs and paraphernalia were found? My guess is there wasnt much.

Yeah, 10:29. You wouldn't want to be fighting over the last half gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream from any of these pot smokers. Of course, they probably wouldn't be in the store -- their cars were confiscated because they found a joint in the ash tray. Get caught drunk driving and you can go through the system 5-6 times and still have a car to swerve around in...I guess one or two of the cops needed a Tahoe for their their teenager. Voila!! The official "War on Drugs" has been going on for over FORTY YEARS. Apparently quite successfully, too. Like the war on terror. No matter what, there's too much money in it to stop now. Ok. I made the "quite successfully" part up. My bad. On the good side, we did get some rather ugly louts off the streets for a few hours...
