When Johnny was new around these parts he no doubt said some pretty stupid things in this here space. Didn't understand certain players around town, how things actually worked and got done (criminality was the answer) and probably made some pretty stupid comments. NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton made such a comment yesterday. In a City Council hearing about the NYPD's budget Bratton said he thinks that to decriminalize small amount of marijuana would be a mistake of epic proportions. Trouble is (set the Wayback Machine) since the 1970's small amounts of marijuana out of sight in NYC have already been decriminalized.
Don't worry people, we're sure it was a noob mistake and besides, he's only the police commissioner, how much power can he have?
