A reasonably good report

Here's one that looks good on the surface, but indicates how our constabulary has drifted to justify it's own existence:

According to the criminal complaint, 27-year-old Christopher Eagle allegedly told police he brought a handgun to the home of 19-year-old Adam Sellers and exchanged it for heroin on Oct. 30.

He stole the pistol from his brother, and traded it for drugs; now he's a 'trafficker'.

There's really a lot wrong with this, once you think about it.

The alledged perp stole, and bought drugs, but in todays society, that's not 'bad' enough. We have to add other charges like trafficking (one gun?). because he 'trafficked' in stolen property, and that property was an evil gun!

This fellow did what drug addicts do ....... they steal to support their habit.

Wonder what would happen if drugs were decriminalized, and cheap?
