They’ll have every person on their team packing a different kind of “ham sandwich”.

One “ham sandwich” being a throwaway gun. Another being a baggie of pot they can plant. Another, a knife. Then whatever the situaton requires, can just be tossed in and wham! three or four police testifying the same lie versus one alleged criminal.

I generally don't have a problem with most of the "war on drugs".

So you don't have a problem with the elastic New Deal Commerce Clause?

He might have been better off saying it looked funny. At least it would have been more honest.

With the city I was in (a small one where most who had been there for years either knew, or knew of most others) not all the cops were jerks, some of them were real stand up guys.

Before I left a about a year ago, one of the best told me he was going to retire. He'd had too much grief from trying to keep the jerks on the force in line. At least the chief had the sense to keep him as a Sargeant for as long as he could.

Oh well. All good things come to an end.
