California police raid marijuana shop, caught on video eating edibles, joking about kicking amputee.

California police raid marijuana shop, caught on video eating edibles, joking about kicking
amputee.


Santa Ana, California police have announced an investigation after video surfaced of a raid on an unlicensed medical marijuana shop in which the officers involved acted extremely unprofessionally.

After using a battering ram to smash down the door, they came in pointing guns at customers and forcing everyone to lay face down. A short time later they can be seen on-camera mocking a female customer with an amputated leg, with one officer laughing and saying “I was about to kick her in her fucking nub!” Other officers can be seen laughing and sampling the marijuana edibles before destroying most of the cameras and recording equipment in the shop.

Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the Philadelphia police doing this sort of thing regularly: destroying security cameras, grabbing (stealing) stuff and money from the premises of small businesses. Police business as usual.

Maybe the tide will turn now that there are so many instances being recorded. I don't know.
