Unequal justice

Here we have a cop in New York state that beats his wife, gets caught with several cannabis plants growing on his property and what happens to him? Practically nothing. He loses one month's salary, which he is litigating to get back and will remain free and continue to draw $52,000 a year while his case is pending. If he was a poor black man from the ghetto, he'd already be cooling his heels on a long jail term under the still basically unreformed Rockefeller laws.

If they made corrupt cops who want to play both sides of the fence pay the same price for their infractions as everyone else, you can be certain there would be a lot more law enforcement people pushing for drug policy reform.
