Recently, the Twitter account belonging to the New York Police Department’s 106th Precinct in Ozone Park tweeted about a weed bust.
Sure, if they busted someone who dealt harmful and addictive drugs, they would’ve been praised. But seriously, marijuana? Come on guys; you can do better.
A photo was uploaded by the Twitter account, showing two police officers with small packets of weed, two machetes and a Monster Energy can. It was captioned “one less marijuana dealer on the streets thanks to Officers Sardone and Winter.”
Check it out:

Not because people appreciated the weed bust, but because they found it hilarious.
The weed is the only thing in this picture that won’t kill you. https://t.co/yrSo8S7G0I

Good thing there’s no other crime in New York City to focus on

What a sham. Legalise it and people won’t need to carry weapons to sell a fucking plant.

Looks like dirt weed. What’s the deal with the monster? Energy drinks illegal in NY?

Why they posing like they got El Chapo. They probably busted a 17 year old. That is not a lot of weed

“marijuana dealer” holds about the same weight as “cotton candy distributor” in this tweet for some reason

Maybe they didn’t deserve this much criticism. They were just doing their jobs. The legalisation of marijuana, however, is another topic. What is your opinion on the matter? Comment below.
