True.

Much of society has its priorities all out of order.

Cops don't generally get excited (for want of a better word) over weed, no matter who is smoking it. The courts are harder on black people for any sort of crime, including drugs. That's the courts. Maybe if it said "Black guy driving a nice car in a strange neighborhood."

@Marmaduke In my experience drugs is what cops care about the most. It is an easy way to make arrests.

Maybe drugs in general, but not weed in particular. People aren't as paranoid about it as they used to be. Hearst's influence is finally fading.

In reality, the cops don't give a shit about if a teen smokes weed. But they do care a lot about the other things such as murder. It's just what most often happens, and media covers. You never hear "cops arrived too late to the crime scene, teenager had already smoked the weed".

@MartinTheFirst Aside from me being totally wrong about you using the word "murder," I still really don't see anyway to parse what you said as the media covering murders. I believe you that it is what you meant, so it really doesn't matter how I parse it though, I understand what you were saying now. You are still kind of ignoring the point though, the meme isn't about law enforcement having "flaws" in the murder investigations, it is about the disproportional strength and energy used on people who are easy targets.
