The Fuzz

To begin today I present you with a question; who wants to grow up to be an officer of the law? And how does that conversation go with a first grader? "Timmy, what would you like to do when you grow up?" "I wanna get people in trouble!" What kind of ass hole decides to make his living off of making sure everyone stays in line? Granted, without police society would fall into complete chaos. I'm not denying that they definately serve a purpose. The problem, though, is that with great power comes great corruption. I don't know how it is in other states, but Utah cops have got to be the biggest group of more-holy-than-thou douche bags on the face of the planet. Exhibit A. A close friend of mine got picked up for posession of paraphanalia. Now, I'm not necessarily condoning the use of drugs. They definately ruin lives and cause problems. But the drugs that we need to worry about are things like crack. Heroin. PCP. Drugs that people get addicted to and cause serious health problems followed immediately by death. Pot never hurt anyone. Sure, people have been run over because a driver was high and other stupid shit like that, but marijuana is far less harmfull than, say, alcohol. Back to the point. This buddy of mine can no longer participate in smoking because he has to take a piss test like once a week. He had to pay a shit ton of fines. He has to go to group therapy with crack heads and junkies. He has to sit through individual therapy. He has to pay for individual and group therapy. Fucking bullshit. All because some dumb ass police officer decided he had nothing better to do than search a harmless dude's car. Aside from smoking pot, this guy didn't do anything wrong ever. He's got a job, goes to college, and is an all around decent human being. Way to fight crime there Johnny Law.
