a reply to: Annee Oh Annee, it sounds like a very black & white world you occupy. This unfortunate story of bullying, manipulation, and wasted tax dollars may be out of your grasp since it involves gray areas.
I applaud you for taking care of your disabled grandkids, but cut them a break now & then. Personal responsibility is all fine & dandy, but so is compassion.
To the direct point of this thread... if this is what law enforcement is up to, I want my tax dollars back. We got bigger fish to fry .

And for the record, you wouldn't do a damn thing if you saw me bully someone. You'd get murked if you tried.

He clearly didn't have the mental capacity to even stand trial. In the interview his parents said he was more worried he would lose his "friend" then go to jail.
This POS "cop" was just looking for an easy bust & this poor kid obliged him. The cop preyed on the weak & got away with it.
Whats most surprising to me is the amount of ppl here agreeing with the COP.
I'm not liberal by any means, but even I realize a dick move when I see one.
Wow, the indoctrination is moving along right on schedule I see.

He has a diminished capacity, the cops knew that going in.
The entire sting was bs politics. If you watched the video, you would see these kids weren't "pushers".

Yeah, I'll get right on the IA video where the cop is explaining his reason WHY he went after such a backwards, lower functioning kid.
Oh wait, that'll never happen for obvious reasons, so nvm then.

Jesse Snodgrass who just happens to be autistic at a local high school.
There are varying degrees of autism.
Did this kid know selling pot is illegal?
Autism is not an excuse to break laws IMO.

it is if you have difficulty understanding that breaking the law is more important than being socially acceptable. obeying the law is not on maslows pyramid, but the drive to be socially acceptable is. this kid spends all day around people who talk about their illegal activities and how much fun it is, then some guy walks up and starts being nice to you, then decides to do some business with you. illegal fun like the kids talk about, and someone wants to do it with YOU. instant ego boost. couple that with the "screw it, i want to do something for me" feeling that you get after being pushed around all day every day and you have a recipe for a socially inept and easily confused civilian to be smooth/fast talked into a dime bag.
i used to be that guy, and made a similar and equally dumb mistake in my youth. dont tell me you have never jaywalked for a pretty girl before. thats about what this amounts to, or should. too bad the war on drugs is still making bank.
