Excessive force not the only issue in Derek Copp case?

Whether the police officer used excessive force in making the arrest of Derek Copp is not the only issue. I admit that police do have a difficult job, and at times it is very dangerous. However, the raid on Derek Copp was probably not one of those situations. The reality is that kids or young people such as Derek Copp, 20, should not all be labeled as drug dealers. Generally, these young people have little money, small quantities, and they share their marijuana. How else could they get the marijuana? If they grow it, that is manufacturing, a felony. The law in this area needs to be changed. Essentially, the quantity issue should be addressed. Technically, anyone that shares a marijuana cigarette is guilty of delivery, a felony. Why? When they pass it they are transfering it in violation of the law. If you sell, transfer, or deliver marijuana, it is a felony. Now, more than ever, with legal possession in Michigan  for medical marijuana use and possession the time has come to change the underlying laws. The Derek Copp case will be debated and argued on both sides, but the use of force is just one of the issues. I do not condone the use or possession of  Marijuana and it is still illegal. But, eventually these issues should be addressed.
