I think the source of the anger lies in the double standard where south-central LA non-student residents in the same position would likely face jail time, but the Pasadena police appear to have willfully turned a blind eye because of Puliafito's social status: they confiscated meth without bringing any charges.
Smells like a cover up, by both Pasadena police and USC admin. And USC seems to be gaining a reputation for cover-ups.

However, I'm not a lawyer. Agree more broadly that there's a massive double standard in terms of how drug laws are enforced between rich/white neighborhoods and poor/nonwhite ones.
