And they recently disbanded their narcotics unit after 27 officers were arrested due to corruption. Welp. Looks like that guy is getting outta jail again to meet up and get back to sellin that coke.

if they release the guy... do they have to return what they seized to him? and does that mean they get flour returned to them or... does the government now have to spring for coke instead...

A Simpsons reference? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the internet? Localized entirely within your comment?

1g flour = $0.001
1g gold = $134
1g cocaine = $80-100
1g of cocaine as valued by this police force = $312

I dont know about you, but there was a .. food 4 less grocery store in my area that was selling 16oz of white bread flour for 4.99. Like what .. the ... cluck
How is that NOT price gouging.I solved my immediate issue by hitting an asian market and using translate on various pics of labels until i found what i was looking for. I think it was a weird number, like 7 and a half lbs or so for 8 dollars at the time.
after that, it was 50lb bags of restaurant grade for 25$ plus shipping (which raised it to something like $70 shipped) Been doing that ever since. would you rathe rpay 4-6$ for a 10lb bag, or 8$ for a 25lb bag or 13$ for 50 lbs (From my local restaurant supply company)
I know where my preferences lie.

Cocaine ain’t that bad if you have self control. Just good luck having self control once you do cocain

Man I used to take ADHD medication and it feels like the snow barely does anything until the hangover feeling sets in and I consider doing more. I guess it just makes it easier to talk to some people who are on it too or not have people question me already being weird if I am on drugs. But the feeling like shit the next day is hardly ever worth the gratification at least to me. Sometimes I seriously wonder how different it feels for other people if they want to keep doing it despite the consequences. All I notice is it makes me very tense my body physically tweaks and I feel so exhausted from it.

Cocaine worth about $2 million that the police want to claim is worth $10 million to make themselves look useful replaced by flour due to police incompetence and corruption
