wow that is just terrible

How low can people go?

Snakes...

These blackshirts deserve nothing but scorn, they are truly the scum of the Earth.

He went and bought pot off of somebody? I would have no idea how to do that, but it seems like it would take good social understanding.

^That's the worst part; he walked the streets trying to help who he thought was his only friend, they say it took him weeks to accomplish.

pot is surprisingly easy to get, a ton easier to get than beer when your under 21

I chalk this up to cops being lazy, going after easy targets like this kid, instead of trying to solve real crimes.

cops need to be arrested or shot... these criminals

These are the first people to be sent home in a government shutdown. Really, what do they accomplish except baiting people into a victimless crime? Aside from the nasty thing of screwing "criminals" over this whole nonsense must cost a lot of money.
The government should not spend money on victimless crimes at all, not even when they're not broke.

Instead of trying to protect innocent people, they thought it would be a good idea to turn an innocent person into a criminal, then try to ruin their life. It's a shame that people like this have any authority over any man.

The other sad irony is that this is exactly how the Zero Tolerance Policies in schools work: severely punishing children for harmless infractions in the hopes of decreasing the amount of students they have to teach. Schools will come up with all kinds of excuses and policies to keep the punishment even if there's enough evidence to declare the student innocent.

It's all about revenue, someone likely stands to profit off this and cases like it.

maybe this is what the police call a " stim operation"

I thought cops were supposed to protect the most vulnerable members of society, not trick them. This is just plain stupid.
