Wow man, that whole police station should be immediately under fire, that police chief who lacked knowledge about the biggest case under his jurisdiction should be immediately asked to resign, and if he doesn't he should lose his position for a) putting that girls life in danger b) not following protocol in 5 ways by putting someone from drug court into a dangerous drug deal, not alerting the state attorney that that was happening, failing to give her any training or ask any questions, failing to properly conduct the sting operation, and failing to shut it down.
It blows my mind that this happened. TBH I think the war on drugs is a total failure and we spend millions too much on trying to police marijuana.... yet this is why we have to have federal programs. Police know NOTHING. Police are light years behind in everything, from gangs to drugs. Not only are they ignorant, but they lack the training, man-power, and technology to pull off sting operations!!! Only a police station could take some random college chick who smokes chron, and send her out after 2 of the states notorious weight-movers, AND ASK HER TO BUY A WEAPON. I guarantee that girl was never even asked if she's ever handled a gun, knows anything about them etc.. Send a suburban white girl into a huge narcotics sting, expecting her to buy guns, and huge amounts of multiple drugs. Not only does that sound like the dumbest idea ever, THEY DIDN'T EVEN SUPERVISE THE STING. They basically sent her off and said "call us when you find out what's up..." When asked where the supervising officers were, the chief replies with "uh.... there were officers in the area..." Yeah.. a couple of officers patroling like 15 miles away? This is such a joke and a shame. Lawyers and activists should all be over that shit.
