If drugs were decriminalized, about 98% of the militarized police force would no longer be needed.

No, the initial excuse for them would be gone. But those forces would still be needed by the powers that be... because they like having the control options that come with those forces.

...but not disbanded. They would be re-tasked to other duties like enforcing hate speech laws about queers and muhamheads or taking up your arms. I’d rather they stay on drugs and not move into other areas.

And, of course, the prison would empty out so much you could probably put prisoners one to a cell so they wouldn’t beat the crap out of each other or do unmentionable things to each other after lights out.

Then you could put more violent thugs in jail, rather than giving them probation.

Thank you. Statistic after statistic has shown that the war on drugs is a complete failure.

And waste of money.
