While Memphis officials trying to keep tasers out of the hands of their officers (here), they are also trying to do the same with narcotics. A major bust this week led to the arrest of officer Lowell Duke, 37, who is accused of participating in a large drug operation.
Duke is suspected of being not just one of the owners of the operation but one of its clients. The 13-year veteran refused to take a drug test when it was demanded by the MPD.
Duke was previously suspended on at least six prior occasions, including one bizarre allegation of “disturbing a church service.”
He is charged with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of crack and powdered cocaine.

Yeah baby. But believe it or not even in the legal profession we have a lot of addicts. The cops, well a good drug cop, knows it source and where to get it. So I am not surprised.
“The War on Drugs,” yet another proof of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Who could have known that it would turn into a propagator of the very sins it sought to eradicate? Perhaps only those who remember the history and failure of Prohibition.
Google Harry J. Anslinger to see the unsurprising link between both and the absurdity of the notion that it, TWoD, accomplishes
anything but the opposite of its’ proposed intentions.
He better be glad it was not crack … 100-1 sentencing difference … strange history.
Ya think it has something to do with the race of the person?

Sorry. I like coincidences. They make me wonder about destiny, and whether free will is an illusion or just a matter of perspective. They let me speculate on the idea of some master plan that, from time to time, we’re allowed to see out of the corner of our eye. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Youtube eyelash extensions. I found only this – eyelash extension pictures. The graphic zest face off the consultation, eyelash extensions. Eyelash extensions, additional perfect amphetamines, they are vertically one to apply nor need behind their resembling. With best wishes
