Our last great President.

Our last great President.

White people in my state have been arrested for weed... Nothing to do with skin color, it was the weed. Why is this a race issue and not legalization of weed issue?

**I did not watch the young turds video.

Anyone who isn’t a white, straight, CIS-gender, Christian male should be above the law and above criticism.

White people are more likely to use illegal drugs and get away with it.

Statistically, black Americans tend to get harsher punishments for the same crimes. Not everyone can emotionally handle this truth, but it is a truth.

They pointed this out in the video. Perhaps you should have watched it.

Ten of the at least 70 people arrested during a 21st birthday party over the weekend spoke exclusively to Channel 2 Action News for the first time since the incident.

Cartersville police said officers responded to a call of apparent gunshots fired early Sunday morning and something led them to believe that party goers had drugs on them.

The ages of the people arrested range from 15 to 31 years old.

On Monday, a parent of one of the party goers told Channel 2's Tyisha Fernandes she is furious because police arrested everyone since no one would claim the drugs.

Deja Heard rented the home where the party was held through Air BnB to celebrate her 21st birthday.

"I’m very sorry it happened, all of us are innocent – it's just not right," she said.

The party goers said police were checking things out when they smelled marijuana in the front yard. They told us police didn't have a warrant at that point but they said two officers entered the home anyway.

In a news release sent to Channel 2 Action News on Tuesday, police said they obtained a warrant and found two stolen guns, marijuana individually packaged and several smoking devices throughout most of the first-floor rooms. Individually packaged suspected cocaine and cocaine-related paraphernalia were also located upon initial contact with multiple subjects, the release said.

During a sit-down interview with Fernandes on Tuesday, the attendees described being mistreated by officers. They claimed they were tied up with zip ties, threatened with tasers and hauled off to jail. Some of the men said they were locked in cages at the jail.

"I was told we were just being detained; one of the officers said we’re putting you in a van to keep y’all warm," said Austen Davis.

Another attendee, a pregnant woman, said she was verbally abused and mistreated in jail.

"I was throwing up water," she said. "The whole saying 'innocent until proven guilty' went out the window. They told me I was an unfit person to have a baby."

The attendees told Fernandes they spent nearly three days in jail for nothing. Many of them lost their jobs and now they're afraid they'll end up with a criminal record.

"I’m about to graduate college this semester so it was kinda embarrassing, I had my cousin with me, he’s in the military so it just sucked we had to go through it that way," said Dakelin Wells.

Along with the attorneys representing the young people arrested, the NAACP is now involved.

More information has been released by the Cartersville Police Department and the Cartersville-Bartow County Drug Task Force regarding the 60-plus arrests made around 2:30 a.m. Sunday in Cartersville.

According to a DTF press release, agents seized two firearms (one reported stolen from Detroit, Michigan), individually packaged marijuana and several smoking devices during the search of the first-floor rooms of the home at 2 Cain Drive.

According to the release, several individuals also were found with suspected cocaine and cocaine-related paraphernalia.

The DTF release said all of the subjects at the home were arrested for possession of the suspected marijuana because it was within everyone’s reach or control.

Everyone arrested was transported to the Bartow County Jail by multiple transport vans.

According to the DTF, many of the people arrested refused to reveal their identities, causing a delay in the booking process, which was not completed until 5 p.m. Monday after everyone arrested was issued a bond amount.

The ages of those arrested ranged from 15-31 years old.

The Cartersville Police Department said in a Tuesday press release that it turned the investigation over to the DTF due to the number of people inside the residence, the firearm found and the evidence of widespread drug usage.

According to the CPD press release, “It has been a long-standing policy of the Cartersville Police Department that drug investigations routine patrol officers encounter are referred to the Bartow-Cartersville Drug Task Force.

“This current policy is now under review for any further drug investigations.”

WSB-TV reported Deja Heard rented the home where the party was held through Air BnB to celebrate her 21st birthday party. A flyer advertised the party as her “21st sexy Christmas lingerie/pajama party.”

"I’m very sorry it happened, all of us are innocent — it's just not right," Heard told WSB-TV.

I remember Chumlee from Pawn Stars who's white and rich had a very similar experience after very similar things were found in his house. They were making a huge deal over an unregistered (but not stolen) gun that was found.

Someday, America will have a president who won't use drones and won't suck up to Wall Street.

Yeah, but wasn't there more to that story? Methamphetamine and something about inappropriate sexual relations with a minor. He wasn't busted for being white with drugs. He was busted for being a perv - the investigation was about the sexual assault allegations. They just happened to find marijuana, meth, and a gun when they went after him for being a perv.
