And what is even more astounding that 90% of these 872,000 arrests are for possession only. Those approximately 795,000 possession arrests equal 5% of all arrests made in this country for anything and everything. That means that virtually 5 out of every 100 police officers are doing nothing but busting people for pot, instead of focusing on murderers, rapists, thieves and thugs. Or looked at in another way, it amounts to a full five percent effective reduction in our police force . . . and for what? Such a waste of resources.
