The 4/20 publicity stunt
“Operation Constant Gardener†was essentially a publicity stunt by a slew of law enforcement agencies in Kansas and Missouri. Sheriff Denning, along with other law enforcement officials across the state, had pre-planned press conferences on the afternoon of April 20th, which of course is the unofficial holiday of pot smokers. The press conferences were to announce all the busts and arrests produced by the operation. The public information officer for the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department had already pre-drafted a press release under the heading ““Law Enforcement Celebrates 420 with Multitude of Arrests.â€
This is what has become of LEO mentality in this country: “What there isn’t enough crime to fund our budget? Bullsh!t! Go out and find some damn criminals, and if you can’t find any, then create some criminals. Do what you have to do. We got to keep the gravy train rolling.”

Reminds me of Waco exc. no one was shot by LE. Funny how the big heads in LE line the dog & pony show up before all else. Only thing semi-positive to come of it is the sheriff will retire.
