They're worried that if someone uses Cooper's tips on avoiding a raid, a police officer could get hurt.

Gee, they raid people with military grade equipment and they're worried about getting hurt?

Do dicks become cops or do cops become dicks?

I know you're goofing around, but I know plenty of dicks who continued their dick-dom professionally by becoming a cop.

"if you ever need protection need your crime scene investigated..."

There, fixed it. ;-)

If you need protection, I recommend a 12-gauge in most cases. Attack dogs are a good option too...

It’s certainly wonderful to realize that our 40-year War On Drugs has made marijuana use a distant memory.

I can’t imagine a guy busting up his own family because he wants to smoke dope.

If getting caught with a little pot means the destruction of a family, we are one sick society. I guess the Soviets won the Cold War after all.

"I used to break into houses at three o'clock in the morning with 10 other men, after throwing a flash grenade through the window," Cooper says. "I would drag Mom and Dad away and send the kids to the department of human services — over a bag of pot — and totally ruin that entire family. I started reaping what I had sown."

Without the cloak of being a police officer and in the middle of a contentious divorce, Cooper was on the wrong side of small-town politics. He was arrested for returning rental movies late and for unlawfully carrying a gun. His ex-brother-in-law, a constable, showed up with an order to remove his two girls. They put up such a fight, the effort was abandoned.

When you lie down with the dogs, you get fleas. And this shows just how corrupt those involved in the War on Drugs are. Exactly like Prohibition. No respect for the law whatsoever, but wearing a badge.

Great shot. But you know, if just one of those dogs made a little lunge, everyone of them would be on that cat like white on rice.
