San Jose police union executive charged with attempted illegal importation of synthetic opioidsThe executive director of the San Jose Police Officers' Association (SJPOA) has been charged with attempting to illegally import synthetic opioids into the U.S. for mass distribution, according to federal authorities. 👀 Wowwowwow 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have always thought the drug business is so successful bc ppl in authority (usually both sides of US/Mexico border) are either looking the other way or bringing them in themselves. This a prime example of abuse of power! Probably many others doing this through the mail too.
