House Panel Approves Changes To Mmma - Hi Times

[solabeirtan]

Very unnerving article, with far reaching implications.  Such as:
 
"Lawmakers wanted to ensure their submission this year includes a tighter set of regulations in order to prevent a repeat of the law enforcement debacle from 2014." 
 
Was wondering what they were talking about ? So I did some digging and all I came up with are these:
 
A Magical Mystery Tour of American Austerity Politics 

 

" Kellom is just one of the 489 people killed in 2015 in the United States by law enforcement officers. There is, however, a disturbing twist to Kellom’s case. He was not, in fact, killed by the police but by a federal agent working with a little known multi-jurisdictional interagency task force coordinated by the U.S. Marshals. "

Similar task forces are deployed across the country and they all share the same sordid history: the Marshals have been hunting people ever since the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act compelled the agency to capture slaves fleeing north for freedom. One nineteenth-century newspaper account, celebrating the use of bloodhounds in such hunts, wrote: “The Cuban dog would frequently pull down his game and tear the runaway to pieces before the officers could come up.”

 

Something is rotten in the State of Michigan

...and another (recent)

Snyder caught with paws in cooky jar,  .... awww its just a quarter mil....

It's nice that people in other parts of the country recognize what's going on here. Maybe they can keep it from happening in their states.
