With all these unexplained corpses being found, all these unsolved robberies, burglaries, and assaults, all the drunken rapists, all the meth…

It’s good to see that EPD has the time and resources to stop the victimless “crimes”.

I can’t even begin to understand how you might be connecting the dots on the following: Police officers do not know when they approach any vehicle for whatever reason they have, to approach said vehicles, what they might find, so they can’t know it is “only weed” as you assume. B. Selling drugs is illegal. Weed is illegal. C. Police officers doing their jobs do not stop doing their jobs just because other more serious crimes are being committed, investigated or reported! Each officer has a position within the department. Some are on patrol and others are detectives. The same as a receptionist is not going to do your dental work, just because they are both in the field of dentistry.
Thanks to the EPD for their work on all that they do to cure our woes.

Dear Bobbi M. I agree with you, except where you said Weed is illegal. Please demonstrate how Weed is illegal , I believe they are now giving out permits for growing and I also believe they passed a law a few years back making Weed legal. They also issue medical cards for sick persons, So please quote your statement with facts. Sincerely. Tug

They must have been watching someone to have a search warrant and the DEA on hand at Murphy’s.

Get real people just do one search for Jacques champaign. I’m sure you will find the article in which Champaign was busted with over a POUND of METH. So victimless crimes and harmless criminals? I think not
