He’s not going to get black voters no matter what he promises. Republicans never do. This policy will run off any conservative vote he may have been hoping for.
Although I think incarcerating people and taking their property for possession of small amounts of drugs as giving long terms in prision wrong, I think all violent crime should be seriously dealt with. Property crime should be handled seriously, too. And gangs...we need to go after gangs and get them off the streets as they are corrupting the young.
I agree 100%.
A lot of so-called non-violent drug convictions are the result of plea bargains where prosecutors have difficulty getting victims to testify because of the fear of retaliation. With a drug possession charge, only the arresting officer and the lab tech needs to testify. They are getting violent criminals on drug possession the way they got Al Capone on tax evasion.
