Naturally the cop survived, he didn't actually die, in fact as far as I know there has ever been a marijuana overdose. Either way Sanchez sounds like a douche, he blamed the mishap on his wife saying she tricked him into eating the marijuana brownies. He later admitted he cooked up the marijuana after confiscating it from a random person off the street. Do cops get special treatment?
Dearborn lets cop quit without a drug charge in marijuana brownie case - Detroit Free Press
Dearborn police declined to pursue criminal charges against an officer last year, even after the cop admitted to taking marijuana from criminal suspects and, with his wife, cooking it up in brownies. Then-Cpl. Edward Sanchez was allowed to resign from the department, but he was not charged with a crime.Snip.. to my favourite quote from the news article
Then, he asked the score of the Red Wings game on television that night, explaining, "I just want to make sure this isn't some type of, like, hallucination that I'm having."...Read More

1. I guess different rules apply when you're one of the team. I wonder if Paris Hilton will get her pardon. The wife agreed to accept the blame because it was obvious something distasteful like foreclosure due to insufficient income was in the works for the future. What I thought was interesting was the captain's equivalation of the value of pot to the value of money. I wonder what's going on at his house?

3. Cops----use their badges/wifes/terrorism to hide all their crimes----if it was a regular person----they would probably be in jail after the cops roughed them up like they do on "cops"

4. I live in a small town Ozark Alabama some of the cops in this town are worse than the people they arrest and put in jail if The FBI would investagate
There would be a lot of police officers and investagators in jail themselves and that would be a good thing if you can abide by the law than you wont up hold the law .

5. Give me a break you guys. Who has not done the stupid mistake of trying "the Brownie"? The Guy showed just how inexperienced he was when he called 911 ! He has lost his Job I think that is enough payment for any man.

9. Squealer consoles the animals, saying, "Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure. On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?" The classic hypocrisy seen here is too hard to miss.
