Title: Santa Ana Cops Caught On Camera Apparently Eating Pot Candy, Joking About Kicking Amputee Patient In Her "Nub"

Marla James
The Weekly has received footage from a recent marijuana dispensary raid that appears to show Santa Ana police officers eating pot candy and throwing darts after destroying--or so they thought--all the surveillance cameras inside the cannabis shop.

The video footage shows an officer stuffing something into his mouth and handing something to another cop, who asks him "What flavor?" The officers then laugh. The footage is too grainy to be certain that the item that the officer picks up from the counter of the cannabis shop is in fact a pot edible, although the behavior of the officers suggests this is the case.

Also in the footage: a female police officer joking that she wanted to kick Marla James--a marijuana activist and wheelchair-bound amputee who was present during the raid--in her "nub."

Click through to see the video.

Yikes! Presumably, the police officers depicted in the video thought their actions and statements would not be recorded, but they were: the officers failed to remove all the secret cameras. Other footage obtained by the Weekly shows police officers, some of whom are wearing ski masks, battering down the dispensary's front door and then storming the establishment with guns drawn. The footage also shows the officers using a crowbar to dislodge various surveillance cameras and a DVR machine.

"Destroying Cameras, etc"

As the Weekly reported yesterday, a Superior Court judge has issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the city's Measure BB, which will allow some 20 dispensaries to operate legally in Santa Ana. The judge's order came in response to lawsuits filed by dispensaries that failed to win during the city's controversial Feb. 5 lottery process.

The May 27 raid depicted in the video--which led to a dozen arrests and shut down the Sky High Collective on 17th St.--is just one of numerous busts of dispensaries that failed to qualify in the ballot and which the city says are operating in violation of Santa Ana's current ban on marijuana dispensaries. James and her husband David told the Weekly that they were present at Sky High because their attorney, Matt Pappas, had learned the collective would be raided from Santa Ana's city attorney, Sonia Carvalho."

"When they came back into the back room when David and I were, they asked us why we were there, and I told them we were there to observe them, the police," James recalled. "And they were really surprised about that." When James told the officers that "Sonia" had told her attorney about the raid, the officers didn't recognize the name. "They had no idea and it made them seem kind of stupid and maybe that's why they got mad."

James struggled to understand why the female officer in the video would make fun of her disability.

"You know what, I was really nice to that woman," James said. "I even complimented her on her hair. I treated that woman with respect and I have no idea why she wanted to kick my stump."

Commander Chris Revere told the Weekly that he'd watched the footage, which he described as "edited" and "non-chronological."

"Obviously we are concerned with what we see on the video," Revere said. "We have initiated an internal affairs investigation. I'd like to see the unedited video to get a clearer picture of what is happening."

Revere said he could not comment further on the video because the department's investigation was "ongoing."

What a convenient photo of the sweet-looking pot lady with the nub fully visible.

The jackboots getting caught stealing/eating the pot edibles is really funny.

Let's have the whole lot tested for marijuana use.

I can hear it now: "We had no idea those brownies contained toxic marijuana. We just assumed they were ordinary brownies."

Typical jackboot drug warrior scum.

Even if you cooperate, they treat you like shit.

Destruction of evidence, say - isn't that a crime?

Guess you didn't bother watching the video.

Any idea why the cops tried to destroy the footage?

Any excuse for the woman cop saying she wanted to kick the amputee "in the nub"?

Quote: Cop #1 "Did you punch that one-legged old benita?"

Cop #2 ("lady" cop) "I was about to kick her in her fucking nub"

And this was AFTER she was treated with RESPECT by the amputee woman - "You know what, I was really nice to that woman," James said. "I even complimented her on her hair. I treated that woman with respect and I have no idea why she wanted to kick my stump."

What were the cops eating on the video? Did they bring their lunch?

I quit reading the yellow journalism article.

Just as I expected - anything that portrays cops in an unfavorable light, no matter what jackbootery they commit EVEN WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT ON VIDEO, no matter what the source, Gatlin whines "yellow journalism".

What a predictable cop worshiper you are.

Drug warrior cops in action, threatening to kick an amputee in her "nub" trying to destroy evidence, partaking in the goodies that are illegal for everyone else but them.

Quote from video: Cop #1 "Did you punch that one-legged old benita?"

Cop #2 ("lady" cop) "I was about to kick her in her fucking nub"

Real class act, that one.

And this was AFTER she was treated with RESPECT by the amputee woman - "You know what, I was really nice to that woman," James said. "I even complimented her on her hair. I treated that woman with respect and I have no idea why she wanted to kick my stump."

The name sounds recreational, not medical.

Actual medical-only dispensaries normally have names that reflect their status as they don't want to attract the recreational users. Medical shops are often closed collectives, members-only.

If they had nothing to hide, why try to destroy the video?

I'd like to see these guys tested for marijuana.

Of course, it won't matter because they'll just claim they were "testing" the evidence or some such nonsense.

Pathetic police work. Any illegal activity (criminal mischief or drug consumption) should be met with arrest, termination and a swift kick to the groin until the nose bleeds.
