POLICE STRIKE AGAIN

Re 'Medicine' seized in bust of pot club, Aug. 14.

I wish I could say that I was as shocked as I am angered by the actions of 
Toronto's "finest" in rounding up a group of medicinal pot smokers. Sadly, 
it doesn't particularly shock me at all. It just looks to be another 
Gestapo strike by the bullies in blue.

Also not surprising is the fact that police refuse to give any reasons for 
the operation or say anything about it whatsoever. I don't know, I guess it 
seems kind of weird to me that some of the most dangerous people on our 
streets (at least since they rounded up the big, bad chemo and AIDS 
patients) are the ones we pay to protect us.
