Gainsville Cops Need a Life


I read a headline that 2 University of Florida athletes were arrested for mary jane possession. It was just your normal college kid busted story until I read a little closer.

tailback Brandon James and reserve basketball guard Brandon Powell were arrested by Gainesville police during a reverse sting. Powell arranged a meeting with the informant by telephone. Powell and James then met the informant and purchased .8 grams of marijuana for $20, according to details in the report. The sale was recorded on video and audio, the Tribune reported.James dropped the marijuana when approached by police

2 things

  1. 20 freaking bones for .8 grams? Are you buying killer Humboldt? If not, any stoner worth his weight in Doritos will tell you that this is a total rip off. Plus, I am trying to figure out which is worse: setting up such a crappy deal in the first place or doing it over the phone with someone you do not know? Absolute morons. How bout you just arrange a meeting with Al Qaeda over the Internet like the Miami Seven? Even better, try this link.

  2. A undercover sting for a minuscule .8 grams of weed. Unbelievable. What a complete waste of tax payers money to have the Gainsville police force spending their resources on busting nonviolent offenders who are trying to get high on a super small joint. I would recommend having your "stings" involving kilos or lbs and not 2 shake bowls worth of wacky tobacky. Only in Florida and these pigs must be Seminole fans.
