ATTACKING THE WRONG 'CRIMINALS'

During my 18 years of service as a police officer, I was dispatched 
to zero calls for service generated by the use of marijuana. The 
majority of officers will do a 30-year police career and never go to 
one. Adult use is not a societal problem.

Associate Judge Frieling and Lafayette Mayor Pro Tem Strungis must be 
congratulated for their courage to speak out against the increase in 
penalties. If it passes, watch for more marijuana busts and fewer 
arrests for DUI, as the officers will concentrate on the wrong "criminals."

We are a Thin Blue Line. Where do you want us to go?
