During the presentation, Mumpower talks about his desire to rid the city of hard drugs, and in so doing notes that he would not be opposed to legalizing marijuana.

ridiculous. you think the police agencies say....hmmm...i have the choice between picking up a dime-bagger, or 2-tons of heroin....i think we'll go after the doper. nonsense. it is not an either-or proposition.same nonsense as "why are cops pulling over speeders instead of catching murderers".yeah, until someone you know is killed in an accident, then your tune changes. pot is bad on it's own acct. go to a love fest with some mexican traffickers...they're just guys trying to make a living....

I always expected to be on the opposite side of his issues. But I am in total agreement with this speech. Hard drugs need to be attacked and irradicated. I'm glad to see Mumpower understands the differences between Marijuana and hard drug use. The difference is night and day, and by focus our attention on Marijuana, resources are diverted away from stop hard drug usage such as Cocaine/crack, Meth, and heroin.

I voted for Carl Mumpower because of his stance on illegal immigration.
We need more like him!
