POLICING THE WRONG KIND OF SMOKE

Recently, my son and I attended a great concert at The Q. However,
when the band "fired up," so did a lot of patrons. I am speaking of
marijuana, pot, weed, pick your poison. Never once did I see security.

At intermission, I went outside to legally smoke a cigarette. The
security outside was like the Gestapo. We were treated horribly --
worse than crackheads in a dark alley.

I work in a job where I am subjected to drug tests. At what point
does secondhand smoke put me at risk of failing one? We did not
return to our seats.

If Cleveland is laying off professionally trained police officers,
maybe they can be replaced by these rent-a-cop wannabes.
