Poor sheriffs. They are scared they will be forced to cut back in staff and as a result lose power in the parish.
A look through the weekly crime stats in Bossier and Caddo parish shows that roughly 10-20% of the arrests/court cases are for marijuana penalties.

Legalize drugs and there will be far less crime for them to police anyhow.

I wish someone would call him out on the implication:
So what you're saying is that the reduction of penalties will work so well that people will then push for full decriminalization, and that is why you are against it?

it's going to take alot of public support for this to happen. and not by the hipster smokers and you college age students but the 30-45yr old voters are going to have to speak out to make politicians notice that people want change

Less weed for their workers to re-sell on the street or smoke on the side.
