[Vision2020] Huh?

[Donovan Arnold]

I think the actions of these police officers was destructive
to the community and unproductive in stopping marijuana usage. They should have
used this opportunity as a chance to save three kids. Instead, they used the law
to destroy the lives of some kids and let whoever is peddling marijuana and
possibly other drugs to them and other kids to find more victims. The
University will lose about $120,000 in tuition from these kids, the City probably
just as much, and they will be felons on welfare instead of being productive
members of society with a job. To me, as Sunil stated, this is a bad drug
policy.

A friend of mine was busted for "frequenting a place where drugs are 
used", in the public alley between John's Alley and the Coop.  No drugs 
were found BTW, he tried to fight it and lost.

Police seized marijuana, $240, a scale, rolling papers and a knife. The 19-year-old Moscow men were cited for frequenting a place where drugs are used.
