DID COP IN RAID EAT POT SHOP EDIBLE?

Video Shows an Officer Apparently Popping a Pot Product in His Mouth

LOS ANGELES - A video that appears to show a Santa Ana, Calif., 
police officer eating a pot-laced edible after raiding a pot shop has 
prompted a police investigation.

The pot shop's surveillance video, released to reporters by attorney 
Matthew Pappas, shows police entering Sky High Holistic, a marijuana 
dispensary, and forcing patrons to the ground as they raid the shop. 
At some point, officers appear to be removing security cameras and 
playing darts.

An officer examines what appears to be an edible. Then he tosses it 
into his mouth and flashes a thumbs-up gesture.

Santa Ana police Cmdr. Chris Revere told KTBC-TV the video was 
heavily edited, so it's not clear what actually happened and it's 
hard to determine whether the officer was actually consuming an edible.

But Pappas said he plans to file a lawsuit next week.
