Cop claims of resource shortages sound absurd if they have time to bust harmless groups like this. Eight lives have been cruelly disrupted by a bogus bust netting, by the cops' own inflated numbers, a mere $6,750 worth of weed. Our complaint with the Society is that the menu only offered Twinkies for munchie relief. - ---
