RAID A WASTE OF POLICE RESOURCES

Re: Nine charged after marijuana compassion club raided, April 3

Police raid the CALM club, grab stock off shelves, shove around the
staff, and even knock one person to the floor. How sad and perverse.

If we have such a surplus of police that we can afford expensive raids
and court action, then we should re-visit the police budget and look
at the number of officers we actually "need." Surely that money could
be better spent on treatment facilities and poverty relief.
