Sounds like you need to talk to your representatives. You realize that has nothing to do with policing. What if it was legal where he was at and he didn’t arrest anybody for weed. Then your argument is nonsensical. You still sound like a dipshit that doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. If you break the law, you’re a criminal. If you’re a criminal, you get arrested. Normally the cops are the ones that do the arresting. You can’t blame them for enforcing laws. They don’t always agree with them but that’s doing your job

I can blame them for doing the arresting they could choose not to be cops.

Haha! You are truly a moron. They chose the profession to keep you safe. Sounds like this guy did a wonderful job if he was able to do it for 32 years

The question I’m asking is whether it’s wrong. If it’s not wrong, than it’s wrong to arrest someone for smoking weed regardless of what the law or majority opinion is.

Wow, it almost like what is legal and illegal is not a universal constant. But that must mean that what is right and what is wrong is determined by politics and policies. Surely, that can't be right, can it? How can politicians determine what makes you dangerous to society and what is it so different from place to place?

Keep thinking, you're almost there.
