California DOJ to gut drug, gang & organized crime task forces

Looks like we have run out of funding so why not legalize cannabis?

The latest victim of the California budget crisis will leave Californians besieged with criminals and fewer law enforcement agents.
California’s Democrat Governor Jerry Brown approved a budget earlier this year that calls for reduced DOJ funding. The cuts leave many drug-related investigations in the lurch and force local law enforcement agencies to reorganize manpower and funds.
Senior level federal agents say overreaching budget cuts in the state’s Department of Justice (DOJ) clips 34 of the 52 successful anti-crime task forces.
The Department of Justice’s Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement and the Bureau of Investigation and Intelligence (BII) are expected to absorb the lion share of the $71 million in proposed cuts. Also, approximately 170 task-force agents will either receive pink slips or demotions.
“Unless we receive some definite answer or information prior to December 31st of this year, we're going to have to walk out on approximately 200 people who assist law enforcement on a daily basis,” explained Larry Wallace the DOJ’s director of Law Enforcement. He also warned Californians that these cuts have the potential to increase crime throughout the state.

I'm reading and believing there is a retreat.

From Congress who can't find a way to stop spending to law enforcement that realizes that cannabis is not such a problem in the hands of the people.

What has happened here lately is a massive up-swell in arrests but now the call seems out to say now what do we do?

I am guessing that fines are the way of the future since jail costs too much.

So will they stop? It is a good question but the majority is on our side now.

one question remains - do the feds support black market trade? they close the shops and open the borders to NAFTA trucks - then they remove the patrol?
i know i have posted this a lot lately - but, the mexican cartels have $10,000,000,000 set aside each year as bribe money for officials..

In the face of the actual trade our Government has always done just enough to moderate the industry and little more.

It is very big business and our fingers are in the pie for sure.
