Not often that I'm left speechless. If this is true, she is either going to become a cause celeb for all that is wrong with the Drug War or get rich at the expense of the clueless taxpayers of Kansas.
This was diaried about 5 days ago by Jen Hayden. If you aren't familiar with her case, please have a look.
I'm sitting here with my son-in-law speechless. We both had the same question: "How can the cops do this??"
I know this is a drive-by diary with just a link. But enough has been said about the Drug War and the -no hyperbole- horrific, catastrophic affects on our country and people. But this... I. Just. Can't.... I just don't understand things anymore. I must be getting old in my mind. Maybe I can't keep up. Because I can't remember when they changed the Constitution to include police deciding what we can do to defend ourselves against false charges and taking away money for that. I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around this.
The fact is, the Constitution is basically meaningless. It's been eroded beyond anything which bears resemblance to it's ideals. It has accelerated Since Nixon began the Drug War. Both sides are responsible because Money.
Speaking of money, she has an independent GoFundMe page.
Feeling a little old and tired.
