Now if they used police power as police and served warrents like they once did, most of the collateral damage would not be happening. Its when police play soldier that people get gunned down in the heat of “battle”.
So the question is, why are the police now acting like the SS, instead of police? Who wants it that way enough to change the old ways that did indeed work for a couple of hundred years?
Is the drug “war” about drugs, or about war? And what is the real target of all this?
Is it public safety? Or the public?
My explanation is pretty mundane. Fedgov doles out tens of billions each year to fight the WOD. Collectively, states do the same.
There are a whole lot of people in government, and to a lesser extent private industry, who benefit from it. And that doesn't take into account corrupt officials being paid by the cartels.
To simplify my answer, I would call it Drug War Whorery.
The question is... are you going to vote for those that continue this trend or vote for someone that actually supports the 10th Amendment.
Crying about this, but then voting for the b@st@rds that continue it (or one up it) is the height of folly.

The old ways still work for real crimes with actual victims. They never worked, nor will the SS tactics, for "crimes" that victimize, at most, the "criminal."

I would posit that it is the ‘public safety’ because then it can be held as a ransom; just like teachers & firemen are the first government jobs threatened when there is a payroll/tax problem.
