No One Believes a Pothead

Meet Michael Mineo. When the cops saw him lighting up a joint on the streets of New York, he tried to run from cops who don’t smoke pot everyday. After his arrest he claimed that he had been buggered by a night stick. He was suing the city for 440 million bucks. That could buy a lot of weed, dude! But the jury laughed and didn’t believe a word he said. Now he is literally all butthurt and is going to do a new blame whitey tour with Al Sharpton.

From the AP here:

A New York City police officer accused of sodomizing a drug suspect in a subway station was acquitted Monday after defense attorneys spent weeks chipping away at the credibility of the accuser, a self-professed gang member who admitted to smoking pot regularly. Two colleagues were acquitted of a cover-up.

Officer Richard Kern had faced as many as 25 years in prison if convicted of aggravated sexual abuse, while Officers Andrew Morales and Alex Cruz could have gotten up to four years on charges of hindering prosecution.

Mineo has filed a $440 million lawsuit against the city. His attorney, Stephen Jackson, said the lawsuit would continue as planned and would be unaffected by the outcome of the criminal case. They’re also planning to ask federal officials to investigate and want the U.S. Marshals Service to protect Mineo.

The 25-year-old Mineo claimed he was assaulted in a Brooklyn subway station on an October afternoon in 2008 after the cops chased him for lighting a joint on the street.

He said that after he was handcuffed, one of the officers sodomized him with a baton.

The moral of the story is don’t smoke dope, stupid. And the lawsuit is going to fail too. Why would the US Marshals Service need to protect Mineo? Oh yeah, pot smoking makes you paranoid. He probably thinks the cops are out to get him.
