What drugs were they tested for? so much for equal justice. Another example of how government employees, public servents, are above the law.

That's pricey. $1,000 per pound! And the tax on that? That mans life. There is no freedom in this country when a natural weed or herb causes so much greif. The people need to get it legal! pot generates more revenue than corn and wheat combined, it's been the #1 cash crop for over three decades, yet last year over 880,000 citizens lives were destroyed due to polotical ignorance.

America will be a better place when pot is legal! All the lives lost to a weed is barbaric. Since there is no logical reason for pot to be illegal the people who know nothing about it come up with theories. The iggnorant poloticians can fix this. Its the people who have stand up after three decades of persecution because some greedy polotician put it in a bill and no one caught it, real professional. How can a country with so much knowledge be so stupid? You want jobs, legalize pot! You want to keep the theivin' poloticians happy, tax the sale, manufacturing and production of pot.

Why not a pay cut to help the deficit? For the meenial work preformed they should be working for minimum wage, like Govenor Schwartzneiger wanted in Calif. This counry, this county cannot sustain the ever increasing cos of labor which is 4 times that of the average worker in other countries. People want more for doing less. This country will continue to fall thanks to this greedy mentality.

That name needs to be changed for there is no effort to correct the mind set of those put behind bars. And with this recession continuing to deprive this country, where is the money coming from? How is this helping the good, honest working people?

More than 75% of what they pull is ditch weed or hemp, has no drug in it, left here decades ago when it was a crop farmers made profis from. The hemp they pull has no street value. Yes there are growers out there who hide there crop and that would be the cannabis that should be regulated and taxed like everything else in this country. Every where yo go in this world you will find pot, yet this country, in dire fical need, continues to put people in prison for a weed that is 100% beneficil.

Was he the only one around this problem of possible contamiaton? He looks overweight in the photo, how is that contributiong to his problems? Where are all the specialist doctors who get paid to help people in pain? As a govrnment employee ( a marine) where are all the medical benefits they promise when you sign up? Why are you begging the private sector to support you when you have the all mighty government should pick up the cost?

When a $1,000,000 project calls for $35,000 in materials and $65,000 in labor and admin. costs, it's no wonder this country is falling apart. Thanks to union's who distort democracy. World economists have stated that american union wages are triple that of other countries. Even a non union worker works for less than a third of a union wage. Because they pay to be part of a union , their wages are three to four times higher? It's a tug o war and the loser is the middle class workin' man.

Years back it was reccommended that you carry a voice recorder in your vehicle, It helped alot of people. The pigs are the criminals, What needs to be done is when you see a pig break even the most nimor of offence, report them. There is no justice in this country and this is a prime example of how the injustice continuse to destroy lives. These pigs think they can do whatever their limited mental capacity allows. They lie to cover their imperfections, How many pigs have mental problems? How many pigs break the law, yet never get prosecuted? They work as a public servent yet they expect the citzen to bow tho their incompetence when they are violating your rights due to their irrational behavior? Video recording a pig is the right thing to do and the citizens need to stand up to the corrupt mentality of those who accept our tax dollars as salary. Go after them before they get you. . Don't trust a pig and don't plea bargain, and don;t use a public pretender who also works as prosecutor to take your money and your life. Something needs to be done to protect the citizen from these pigs, start recording everything they do and send it to the media.

Anything said goes on deaf ears.Maybe when the board listens to the citizen and works for the people. This board is all about taking money for sitting on their ass theoriziing ways to get more for their bank account, with no concern for the parents or the children.

Not around here. The county already gets away with murdering the people taken to that jail. What a bunch of hypocrites. When incarcerated you are in the custody of the county who is suppose to be responsible for your well being. A county jail is alot different than the state correctional prisons. People who don';t know the facts should go back to school. Of course all around here are perfect and never break the law, or is it you just haven't been detained yet. Your day is coming, maybe not above ground, but with the disgraceful attitude of letting another die cause money is more important .

A citizen working for minimum wage rarely uncludes benefits and after all the TAXES are pulled they have an income below poverty. Government has not been for the people for many decades now and with the greed that abounds in this country we wil not see a middle class.

So, this is far from the truth. When seeing a medical person in this community the only thing that will save you is to have your financial accounts singed over to the medical staff, and if they can not see what is wrong, well, your just sick in the head. And make sure you think before you speak because one wrong word and it's reason for them to put slanderous statements in there internal communications that your trouble.

When the tables are turned, it's a completely different sinario. This is done all over this country and those murdering public servents lie to save face. Where are all these religous people who beleive in truth and justice? It no longer exists in the US. Sounds like the Judge and that cop are drinkin' buddies? His coworkers even broke the law by not administering the alcohol tests at the scene? How can the people beleive in a system that has no justice? This government would work for the people when the people who enforce the law, uphold the law.

When the medical employees learn to be mature professionals, people with Medicaid might get the help needed. When the practising physician learns how to run a business there would not be the cost when in need. Money is more important than a persons well being, especially around here. The medical staff around here are murderes bigots, just like the government employees.

It's not enough for their GREEDY attitude. A citizen cannot get help because the nurses and practising physician Judge a customer based on visual and monetary assesment. Physical needs have nothing to do with getting help from medical people around here. The medical mentality is they will let you die because you don't have the money up front. They listen to half a story and accept it as gospel when it's the nurse with a negative attitude and a drug addicted doctor.

Doesn't matter if a person is physically disabled either, they still have the right to throw a citizen to the ground and stomp on them. There is no justice in this community and this is another example of how ignorant and authoratarian the mentality is of those who are suppose to uphold the law not use it to their limited mental capacity. If those cops has any maturity or professionalism, this would not have occured. Now they walk because they are government employees who can not be fired thanks to union dictatorship? The citizens of this community are dealing with a govrnment mentality equal to Hitler. Become a government employee and you are above the law as shown in this example of American Democracy.

They are not accounable nor responsible for their actions thanks to their ability to defraud the public the same way government employees do LIE !!!!! The medical employees are Judgemental and only read the "red flag" posted by some irresponsible bigot who's personal opinion and visual assesment is more important than doing there job. This is just another waste of tax payer money. If the medical community was professional and willing to improve their field of choice, they woild already have a way to communicate. The way people die around here it's obvious there is little communication and this will only make matters worst cause now they need to hire someone to do that job, instead of being the business owner and doing it themself. Ya can't read their writing, do they know how to use a keyboard? Giving it your best guess is how they make decisions about your life, how many are drug addicts? How many are criminals by neglect?

The real problem begins with the way medical staff has only one answer, take this pill, that didn't work , well, take this pill, oh that didn't work, well, try this poison! The medical employees that dispence these poisons have no clue what will happen when they prescribe medication. And don't voice your thoughts about how they guessed wrong cause then they blame the victim. ANd don't get me started on the mentality of how money fits into this quagmire of unethical, immoral dysfunctional behavior. Or how the nursing staff visually assess the patient, If they can't see it, your sick mentally, if you state it in the wrong tone, they get agree and blame the victim. There is a neurologist in SB that is outdated and his nurse is a self rightous bigot that spreads slanderous statements thanks to her childish behavior. Most medical staff are guilty of attempted murder. They put themselves on a pedestal and are deranged as are the government employees who lie to save the money they stole from people seeking help from painful life experiences..
