Wait, how, exactly, does a local police department have someone&#x27;s Facebook page taken down? Is there any source anyone can find that verifies that&#x27;s what happened?<p>Radley Balko did some reporting on this story, after Ben Swann broke it, and neither of those two reporters said anything about Facebook.<p>Other reporting I&#x27;ve found actually <i>points</i> to Facebook advocacy pages for for Banda, who currently does have Facebook pages.

&gt; The Garden City Police Department had cannabis oil activist Shona Banda’s Facebook account shutdown because she was using her social media network to raise money for her legal defense<p>On what grounds is it illegal to raise funds ?

Nevermind the Facebook page, they took her son into custody and questioned him without parental consent or legal representation? I truly hope this ends badly for the &#x27;authorities&#x27; responsible, as it sounds to me like kidnapping.

I wish it were 100% legal like beer already. So many people use it, and it harms just as much as alcohol. Stop putting normal people in prison with murderers and rapists.<p>I&#x27;ve never done drugs before in my life but I know a ton of professional that do. These are lawyers, doctors, accountants and the occasional taxidermist. Do these people belong in jail? Fuck that.

Lets hug of death her GoFundMe. They are attempting to destroy her ability to attain funding for a defense. Thats what the motive here is.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gofundme.com&#x2F;rw8p88r" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gofundme.com&#x2F;rw8p88r</a>

This article only mentions Facebook in one sentence. No supporting facts or links...?

Is there another source that is neutral?
