These cops are true American hero's, putting their very lives on the line to apprehend the like of these 2 dangerous miscreants. I heard that they busted 2 jay-walkers the on their previous shift! I tip my hat to them.

Alcohol is the real evil drug out there. The U.S. Govt has cornered the market for all uses of cannabis sativa via a U.S. Patent for synthetic THC and by force via the DEA for the natural plant (which cannot be patented). Think about that for a moment...

Thanks Bryan...not to mention the 25,000+ uses of industrial hemp (non-THC) which would create thousands of jobs in Michigan from the farmer to the retailer including the automobile industry!!! Follow the money and connect the dots as to who is really keeping ALL species of cannabis sativa illegal. For a dose of hypocrisy, seek out the short film entitled "Hemp For Victory" distributed by our own fed govt. to ensure that we won WWII. It's sad that most folks are so complacent and/or apathetic about learning the truth about many things.

Not only does this take zero police work, but they get to steal the guy's car too! What's the difference between these Narc police and the mafia?...Yeah, I couldn't think of anything either.
