Law Enforcement Backs CO's Amendment 64, Says Legalizing Pot Would Benefit Police and Communities of Color | Alternet
"Today, a group of police officers, judges, and prosecutors held a press conference in Denver, Colorado to declare and explain their support for Colorado’s marijuana legalization initiative, Amendment 64. Among the coalition of supporters are Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), the National Latino Officers Association, and Blacks in Law Enforcement of America. Overwhelmingly, they say their experience in law enforcement has led them to conclude that legalizing marijuana would free-up law enforcement resources to fight more serious or violent crimes, while reducing the negative impact prohibition has on communities of color."
