slackmo: (via juliasegal) Funny, but you’re not even close.  Seattle police officers make $50,000 a year before they leave the academy, $70,000 as a rookie, and a minimum of $90,000 after 5 years on the force.  In other words, they average better than $100,000 a year. Think that’s crazy?  It’s not even in the top 5 highest paid on the West coast. So, ya, setting up speed traps and busting kids for pot doesn’t even BEGIN to pay their wages. Oh, and I should add, they still have pension plans and their benefits are WAY better than yours (even though I don’t know you, I can almost assure you this is so). PAY SCALE: Shown below are current base salaries for entry-level officers in comparable West Coast departments. Some departments offer incentives for training or education that are not reflected here. [note: these are STARTING wages — source: Seattle PI] San Francisco: $71,526  San Jose: $70,307  Oakland: $69,162

    juliasegal: I knew when I saw the rolling pin that something bad was going down. TRANSCRIPT: PORT RICHEY — Lewis Davis was ready to drive home from a party on November Drive at 2 a.m. Thursday when he saw a green Cherokee Chief pull up. Six men, their faces covered with red bandannas, bot out of the Cherokee carrying a knife, a baseball bat, bill club and rolling pin, said Davis, 20. “I knew when I saw the rolling pin that something bad was going to go down,” Davis said.

    At approximately 8:30 p.m. Thursday, a short, boyish-looking man in a loincloth approached a teenage girl in the Athenian Grove neighborhood. The man drugged the girl and then ran into the woods. Under questioning, the girl admitted to running away from home with her boyfriend, from whom she became separated after contact with a series of forest sprites.

    (“The Narc Who Got High” via boing boing) Thank you officer Richard Mack — there will be more and more like you as this culture slowly (and painfully) starts to wake up to the realities of this issue. [ed.] TRANSCRIPT: Richard Mack worked in law enforcement for 20 years.  In 1982 he served as an undercover narcotics officer. As a Mormon he hated the drug culture he entered but he learned, “that most of these [users] were basically good. For the most part I liked them, at least one of them. Ted is still a personal friend today.” Mack often feigned smoking pot, but sometimes he had to inhale to avoid suspicion and, “I actually felt the effect of the marijuana high and I found myself wondering what in the heck the big deal was.” Mack will never support using drugs, but “when the alternative is forcing American citizens at the point of a gun to not possess pot and threatening users with jail…I no longer can condone such tyranny.”
