The demonisation of cannibis was not because it was a bad thing but because of propaganda.
Hemp , well just Google that if you want to know why that was demonised.
Cannibis in America was attributed both during the 30s and 60s by American politicians (Nixon being the latter) in a racist agenda to put fear into the American people.
There is nothing wrong with cannabis other than what propaganda has been drilled into generations. It has major health benefits in terms of treating medical conditions, it is a natural pain reliever and it's parent plant hemp can provide a more natural material than many others (hence why it was banned).
Alcohol is far more dangerous to both humans and society than cannabis is.
The worst thing is , all of this is fact, these aren't my opinions.
I feel like you think I'm disagreeing with you. I know these things. But because he was a police officer and, specifically, narcotics, everyone else's opinion was wrong.

I don't think there is a case of anyone committing a crime because they were high. Alcohol however.....
Amazing how town on a Saturday night is filled with drunken fights and yet your experience with cannibis is that! Sums up the difference between the two
Not meaning to excuse this cop, he's a scumbag
but I'd never want to be a cop in this country.
The amount of training is a big problem but I'm not sure how more training could fix things.
The problem is the amount of the public that are armed.
The cops are trained to be on the defensive and ready for a fight at all times.
They are keyed up to be on edge.
There's way more guns than people in this country and untill that's remedied, there's no way you're going to get any other kind of policing.
It's a mess.

The media headlines are appalling. He is clearly not kneeling on his neck. His knee is briefly against the side of his head. For the most part, the officer is holding his head down because he is struggling, thus stopping him from hurting his self.
We have to accept that at times the police have to use force. If people refuse to comply, struggle or resist, then police must use force. If the use of force is banned, then we have an ineffective, useless police force.
You don't see many videos of people doing as they are asked being manhandled like this. I've got little sympathy for those who don't do as they are told.
A couple of weeks ago, there was an interview on Sky News with a retired, former Met Superintendent. He basically said that many Officers in London had effectively given up on confronting young, black people because it wasn't worth the hassle, or the risk to the jobs and mortgages. Seeing that the officer in this video has been suspended for what is nothing, the former Superintendent is clearly correct.
People should be careful what they wish for. A weak, ineffective police force just gives way to higher levels of crime.

Have you seen the shameful pictures of our police officer's running away from aggressive civilians.
"Way more guns" isn't a good reasoning for them being total dicks. I'd love to see some sort of "how many cops are killed in the US vs other countries" because I would venture it would be about the same along most countries outside of Scandinavia because those guys have just insanely good crime rates.
And them being "defensive" is BS. They see everyone as an enemy. You say you don't know how training could fix things? Maybe have training that shows they should be working with people instaed of against them might help.
