No Knock Raids... Another legacy of the War on Drugs. I supported the WOD for years, but today I would say “No, the damage to the civil rights and liberties of the citizens of the United States far outweigh any benefits gained from the War on Drugs.”
And it must go into the ash-heap of history as a good idea gone wrong.

Isn’t it funny how the war on drugs used to take place on cartels who lived in distant lands and along our borders, but now has been turned exclusively inwards towards our citizens while our Borders lay prone to anyone who wants to walk across them...?
We can’t patrol our G_D D_mned borders anymore but we can setup no knock raids and shoot peoples dogs and raid the wrong addresses and shoot innocent citizens... But patrol the border, no that would be mean and not politically correct......
Hear! Hear!
My sister's boy killed himself on drugs -- OD'd on heroin. It was a nightmare. But so were the three jail terms he'd already served. By the end of the third when I went to pick him up at the bus station on his release, all he could talk about was his rights and suing the jail-guards.
In short, he'd become a convict.
Those jail terms didn't set him straight and, meanwhile, the rest of us are suspects who stand to lose our property even on the accusation of drug use.
Drugs are terrible. They kill. So do the laws we've allowed to be passed to control them.
