Hmm...
I can guess how they "destroyed" it if they got 75 boxes of pizza afterward.
Not even joking, but they often burn it in a fire they all stand around.
Which obviously gets them high and gives them an excuse if they're tested, so I'm sure they actually smoke some too.
But burning pounds of it explains how they got high enough to not only order 75 pizzas, but leave all the boxes there and then drive away after.
If a single one was sober they'd have realized they at least needed to dispose of the boxes to hide evidence
Sheriffs are usually elected too, so this is probably not going to endear the count sheriff to the voters next time around.
Sheriffs in Los Angeles and surrounding areas (which includes Riverside) are known to be literal gangs. They get tattoos when they have an on-duty shooting and celebrate when they kill someone on-duty. When people think of bad police, LAPD is usually up there on top with NYPD; but the sheriffs in the LA area are far far worse than LAPD.
Sheriffs in huge parts of the west. I live in AZ and know shit has potential to get very ugly whenever it's a sheriff's deputy who shows up
Not all of Cali is liberal
I looked up this county and 45% voted trump. In non presidential elections, turnout is likely lower. There's a chance this bullshit actually helps the sheriff's re election
When it comes to law enforcement, moderates tend to skew conservative too. That's why conservatives jumped on the whole "defund" stuff to terrify moderates.
That suggest the opposite to me- that if the populace found out that the cops got high, ordered a ton of pizza, then left all the pizza boxes and drove off while high and they're conservative, they're not going to like the Sheriff very much. But they're also police bootlickers, so who knows?
If you've never seen the aftermath of a raid those boxes were probably a small percentage of what had to be cleaned up afterwards
They sprinkled some crack on the pizza boxes
Obligatory
I can’t. How many police officers possibly participated in the raid, and how many pizza pies an average policeman can eat? Let’s say 2 at max, that suggests 35 policemen. WTF?
Are pizzas small there? I couldn't imagine eating even half a pizza solo. Let alone more than one full one. Pizza is a party food for that reason isn't it?
Or I guess am I missing the joke, is it that police are generally larger people and eat more?
I made a worst case estimation of small pizzas and large hungry policemen. These numbers suggest that there should be AT LEAST 35 policemen. If we go with half pizza per person, we get 140 policemen. It is WTF^2
I can eat half a pizza solo, but that's as far as I can go. Even if I'm high.
