Title:
D.C.: Tell Mayor Gray to stop wasting your money
Message:
Call Mayor Gray and tell him to back off of
Capitol Hemp
Last fall, D.C. police raided two area Capitol
Hemp stores known for selling
glassware, along with hemp clothing and other accessories. Charges have since been dropped in connection with the
Chinatown raid, however the case against
owners and operators of the Adams Morgan store continues.
That’s
right, in a city with one of the highest crime rates in the country,
your tax
dollars are being spent to finance raids and prosecutions of people
selling hemp-related merchandise, books, and accessories. As if that
weren’t enough, one item of “evidence”
the police are using to justify the raid is that the stores also stocked a DVD that MPP
helped produce entitled “10 Rules for Dealing with the Police.”
As a
resident of this city, I’m annoyed at this waste of law enforcement resources.
I also can’t help but wonder, if this is how we treat businesses that only sell
hemp gear, what can we expect for the soon-to-be-licensed medical marijuana
cultivation centers and dispensaries?
Please
take a moment to call Mayor Gray’s
office and tell him this is a waste of time, police resources, and taxpayer
dollars. Let’s send a message that it’s time for the Metro Police Department to
focus on real crime.
Thanks!
