An undercover police officer arranged to buy 2 magic mushroom chocolate bars over Instagram then opened fire within seconds, killing the driver and injuring the passenger for selling $100 worth of antidepressants. Perfectly justified.

    An undercover officer had arranged to meet Edelmann in the 7-Eleven parking lot on South Maryland Avenue at 7:40 p.m. and purchase two chocolate bars infused with psychedelic mushrooms

    So… that’s what your police $$$ is going towards?

    Setting up sting operations over some mushroom chocolate bars?

      Not at all! Most of it goes to excessive force payoffs. And buying surplus military equipment like tanks.

      Even worse is the prostitute stings they proudly show on COPS. They pretend to be John’s and make agreed deals with consenting adults and then say ‘haha we’re actually the police, not some guy who wanted to fuck you and you’re under arrest for merely agreeing to have sex for money’.

      Like what an absolute fucking waste of time, money and people’s lives.
