Not groves so much, but grow houses and you're right N!X, 7 out of 10 news items I found, someone speaking on behalf of the Los Angeles County Sheriffs stated that these bust are "typically" connected to "Mexican Drug Cartels" although I couldn't find any comments regarding the "Mexican Mafia" if there is even a difference between the two. I'm not sure about that. It's a way to put those words, terms and phrases out in the minds of the public to make it seem as if Mexican Cartels are infultrating their community which is a direct result of legalizing medical marijuana.Joe In The OCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881379264366446896.post-22605177434015555732009-10-06T17:32:17.000-07:002009-10-06T17:32:17.000-07:00I think my tax dollars would be better spent if th...I think my tax dollars would be better spent if they did focus on the meth producers and users. I've read statistics that meth addiction can lead the most violent crimes. There was a police shoot out in Chino Ca. recently at a Papa Johns that was pulled off, or attempted to be pulled off by a couple of tweekers. When the smoke cleared both robbers where shot, one cop was shot, and one innocent bystander was dead because the cops mistook him for a 3rd robber.N!Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881379264366446896.post-71796427566413622602009-10-06T12:53:01.000-07:002009-10-06T12:53:01.000-07:00The reason for the campaign is two-fold.

Potheads are the easiest targets because marijuana is easier to deal with than meth addicts or crackheads. They know dealing with a meth addict might get a cop killed as opposed to dealing with a marijuana user or grower because we're nonviolent.<br /><br />The second reason is that they don't want to lose their jobs. We all know CA can save billions on law enforcement costs if they legalize marijuana. That translates into lost jobs and lost overtime pay as well as lost access to easy work.<br /><br />Their campaign won't stop. The fact that they disrespect the will of the people alludes to a judge dredd complex where they believe they ARE the law. They don't understand that they are law enforcement. The people make the rules. They just have to follow them. These police are not doing the job they were hired to do - protect and serve the people of California.Anthony Taurusnoreply@blogger.com
