Most of those corrupt cops are heroes in my books... except for the DEA agent and the sheriff trying to kill people... if your in the marijuana business dont kill people it gives the rest of marijuana afficiandos a bad rap

RC MAN, if these corrupt police are your idea of heroes..you need your head examined. The police have gotten away with so much and there are so many people in jail who never deserved to be there in the first place because the police have gotten away with lying up to this point, I say Hallelujah..it's time to get these asses off the streets. I saw and experienced the corruption of these people for years and am glad they are no longer getting away with lying through their teeth. Some of them are still getting away with illegal busts, but sooner or later, they will pay too and I can't wait to read about it here.

It was ten years ago in Washington, D.C., at the 13th International Conference on Drug Policy reform, that I listened to former Chief of Police Joe MacNamara speak about the 500% increase in police corruption since Ronnie Reagan amped up his "zero-tolerance" war on (some) drugs.

Almost every week since that time I've read the Corrupt Cops section of the Chronicle to which I now post my comment.

Some to whom I've forwarded these stories have commented on the over-all size of our population, vs. the relatively small numbers of infractions each week. To them, I respond now, as UI have in the past, with this; the arrests and convictions of those corrupted by this rouse called the War On (Some) Drugs represent only ONE WEEK at a time, only those that were reported to the reporters or easily found in research, and do not include those who have been either brighter or luckier, and who've not been caught... yet..

There are those in enforcement, as in the various judicial branches and legislatures, who see themselves as being superior to the citizenry 'cattle' they control, manipulate, coerce, etc. There are those who simply see their positions as opportunities to make extra money by virtue of access, authority, etc.

But the fact remains; any time that prohibition of basic human desires exists (such as the literally-ancient tendency or propensity of homo sapiens (and even some critters) to willfully modify their state of mind or physical realities, there -will- be those persons who capitalize on that prohibition, knowing it to be truly unwinnable, but a fairly reliable source of extra-curricular financial aid of sizable proportion..

You'd think such an evolved and intelligent society would've recognized this feature of failed efforts to control human urges and impulses long ago... Perhaps the industry now built around this 'war,' forming what can literally be described as an economy unto itself, is what, indeed, prevents a more clear vision as to the unwinnable nature of these sorts of lofty brain farts. 

Time for the totalitarians to free my brothers and sisters, beg forgiveness for the almost-100 years of selective enforcement and violations of persons' inherent rights to be left alone in their walk in this physical life, and to focus on cleaning up this tainted beast called 'Policing in Amerika.'.

Regarding the guy from Laredo, Texas... Orlando Hale... I have to admit that when I was reading the story and came to the part that said he was carrying a firearm with him, I got sick to my stomach.

I knew what that meant.  It meant that he would be looking at a mandatory minimum.  Even though these people are the enemies of freedom and civil liberties, it doesn't make me ever feel good to think that somebody is going to be spending the next 10 or 15 years behind bars for a non-violent 'crime'.  Every Christmas, every New Year's, every Easter, every Thanksgiving, every birthday... that's just too much and hard to think about.  Of course, the guy that beat the motorist is a different story.  No pity for a guy that caused brain damage and PTSD, but this Orlando Hale guy is looking at far too long a sentence.
