Topic 1 concerns a group of retired Michigan law enforcement officers who are campaigning to legalize marijuana. They are claiming that other LEOs don’t want to legalize the drug because they can illegally fabricate the smelling of marijuana as a hook to continue police action and to seize property through civil asset forfeiture. They go on to claim that “it’s policing for profit”. Retired Detective Howard Wooldridge, Neill Franklin, Senator Vincent Gregory and Margeaux Bruner are referenced in the story.

Topic 2 concerns new pension changes in the state of California requiring cops and firefighters to take paycheck reductions and to increase their pension contribution. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System and CalPERS are referenced in this story.
