It’s another hammer we can put on people

Eric Sterling found this unbelievable quote.

“…[I]t’s another hammer we can put on people,” says Delaware State Police Captain Chip Simpson, commander of the special investigations section, praising a brand new law, “Brett’s Law,” that places a plant, salvia divinorum, in Schedule I of the state’s Controlled Substances Act.

Yeah, because that’s the job of the police, right? To put the hammer on people.
Maybe somebody can arrange to put the pink slip on Chip Simpson.
