Yes. The NYPD is weaponizing Tessa Major’s murder to attack reductions in marijuana enforcement & the prospect of legalization. Never fails. They use every tragedy to push their cynical agenda of more criminalization & greater harshness.nypost.com/2019/12/15/tes…
The fearmongering argument also makes no sense. Assuming it’s even true that she was trying to buy marijuana in a park when killed, legalization would have prevented the need to go to a park. She would have been able to buy from a licensed dispensary. With surveillance footage.
As @davidminpdx points out:
A police union using a tragic murder of a teen to undercut marijuana reform. The brazenness of their cynicism here should expose any & all efforts to use future tragedies to fit their agenda. They only care about victims to the extent that they can be used to enhance their power.
