    It has to suck to be on the losing side in the war on marijuana. Never have the DEA and the police made the slightest dent in the war. Time to smoke a bowl…because I can. Again, I feel sorry for the police who spend their entire careers on the losing side in a tyrannical war against the people. As for the federal laws, the states have shown when the feds pass bad laws, We the People ignore those bad laws. And the feds have to just accept it, because they are already so used to losing.

    The efforts of law enforcement while certainly appreciated will be for nothing, as these scumbags will be back on the street before their arrest records are updated and filed.

    Impressive work by Atmore PD and our new sheriff, Heath Jackson, for doing an outstanding job in arresting these criminals. Maybe the suspects they can receive the help they need.

    Atmore Police Department — YOU ROCK.
    Thank you for getting these individuals off the streets.

    Traffic Stops must be like Gump’s “Box of Chocolates” you never know what you’ll find.

    Please be careful out there, we need your help.
