Angelsbandit-
The ONLY police I even consider 'Police' are the members of LEAP (Law Enforcement against Prohibition). I respect them because they DO have both a brain and a clue, unlike the mindless drones who only 'follow orders'. As a former military member I GAVE orders that even Majors, Cols and Generals HAD to follow. You see, I had their very lives in my hands as I was an Air Traffic Controller in the U.S. Air Force and if they didn't do exactly as I said, the aircraft there were flying in crashed into the ground or a mountain and they died. SO please don't harp about responsibility and age. I have more than enough of both and even my children who are all older than 18 as well.
When you have people who can only blindly follow orders that ARE WRONG, then they are not thinking individuals any longer. Where do you think they got the saying, "Yours is not to question why, yours is but to do or die." . I am NOT afraid of any Police as I have broken no laws, and do know the difference between right and wrong. Thinking people question 'authority' and everything as there are too many injustices committed in this country and the majority of them revolve around the Police, Judges and Prisons in this country.
One last point- The POLICE are NOT interested in legalization, they want it to remain illegal.. that is job security for them, the judicial and prison systems. I can tell by your comment that you haven't even been alive on this planet long enough to figure that out yet. Maybe when you get a lot older, you will finally understand.
- End of lecture, you are dismissed.
