NYPD Used Cops TV Clip in Campaign Against Weaponized MarijuanaBy Amanda Warren Probably not. Crazy vigor and super-human strength are not really side-effects, despite what almost a hundred years of reefer madness campaigns have portrayed. Unfortunately, those campaigns still exist. Enter the NYPDs recent attempt to bolster the War on Drugs (and the attempt to further legitimize brutal policing?). At a Tuesday press conference, the police chief complained about a rash of encounters with people under the influence of what he repeatedly referred to as weaponized marijuana. They were trying show scary imagery of the effects of synthetic marijuana, including a brand named K2. What they didnt make very clear is that they were showing a clip from the television show COPS. Filmed in 2003. In another state. He was allegedly on PCP, which they also didnt make clear. They showed another clip from Brooklyn where another nude man is slapping the ground and yelling as police move in. Raw Story reports: A spokesperson for the department said the footage was shown during the press conference to depict the type of behavior sometimes associated with excited delirium syndrome, a condition caused by use of PCP, K2 and methamphetamine, among other drugs. But when asked about documented connections between synthetic marijuana and the condition, the unidentified spokesperson said he was not a doctor. Although a spokesperson said that NYPD never said it was K2 that the people were on K2 is what allegedly showed up in the file names and subject lines of the footage emailed to the press. Now, that is strange. This man from the clip is obviously dangerous, regardless of what flowed in his bloodstream. Yet, probably due to the reality show cameras, his life was spared. He was only pepper sprayed until he could be overcome. The same cannot be said for another man who was naked outside and acting strange. He was shot dead from a distance by an officer. (Maybe there should be a campaign against onsite executions, whether it be from law enforcements discovery of drugs or discovery of the drug-addled mind plenty of real footage exists for that.) Case in point what is the desired outcome of showing this footage at a press conference? Is the NYPD trying to justify more force against those suspected of drug use? If so, why lay those charges on marijuana why? In 2015, the average citizen should know better. Recently from Amanda Warren: Obviously the bigger problem is weaponized ignorance. Amen to that Hp B. But the establishment will do everything that they can to get people to fear cannabis simply because it is likely the single greatest threat to the globalist agenda of interdependence, depopulation and control. Thats why. imbibe and relax this guy musta been drinking the bath water. Any police contact is fearful and deadly. All cops should be drug tested, tested for alcohol and steroids because of his weaponized fools.
