Right now the topic is a crime, if we legalize that crime, then of course it would no longer be a crime.
My point was that how did that get confused with “making a police department improve the quality of it’s methods and training”?
If the drug underworld is legalized, the police will never have to go into residences to make arrests again?
Back in the day cops didn't suit up and storm a house for crimes such as this one. Swat teams are an abomination and unconstitutional. There is no reason to have them. If we need anti terrorism groups then the military should take care of it. Swat teams are a violation of the use of military as police, because swat teams ARE military that are pretending to be police.
There is no need for them. Legalize drugs and not just pot. Drugs were legal in this country at one time and there was no more addiction then there is now. If fact we probably have more people on drugs per capita than we have ever had in the history of this country and you can trace it to prohibition of drugs.
Anyone who thinks the sh** they do today in law enforcement is a good idea is out of their minds and the people who have the biggest complaints about legalizing drugs are those who cannot stand other people to do things they consider immoral.
BTW, before you make some smart a**ed comment, I don't do drugs but I do have a brain and I know that our law enforcement officers in a lot of areas are out of control.
They can't wait to play "soldier" and bust in on someone and shoot a dog or two because that is what their training teaches them.
Take the money out of drugs by legalizing it and you will stop the crime and defund the gangs because the gangs get their money from illicit drugs.
