The quicker we realize that prohibition does not work, the quicker we can properly deal with this problem. Drugs, like alcohol, are a social ill. The only way to deal with this problem is to remove the criminal element from it. Spend the money on rehabilitation and prevention. Stop filling our courts and prison system with drug abusers. That system is for hard criminals. If there is no money in narcotics, there is no cartel. Kind of solves the problems down south. Saves more lives from being wasted in this tragedy. Many husbands, wives and children have died in vain fighting for something that ultimately cannot be won.
No one want to see LEO's die, they are spouses, parents and neighbors. The public is asking them to play a role that is too great a price to pay in a free society. Military tactics are unacceptable and should be abolished.
We had a situation unfold like this less than a year ago. A officer was killed doing a no knock raid. All over 50 Marijuana plants. What a waste! Waste of freedom. Waste of life.
