It’s been a busy week! Join us to discover the real reason why Democrat Congresscritter Joe Kennedy III opposes marijuana reform, then in criminal justice news learn about what police can get away with while totally avoiding punishment: killing someone in California and Oklahoma, abusing 10-year-olds in Maryland, trying to kill a puppy for sport in New Jersey, and a whole mess of f*ckery out of the NYPD in New York.
#Law140 will return next week! Remember to check out our Patreon page for exclusive patron-only content!
