I'm sure Kevin Curry will be coming along soon to slime Lt. Cole. Now if the Lieutennant had shot a dog, then Kevin would be all for him...

I have know more than one cop who has become cynical about the WOD after coming to the realization that it is nothing more than a hustle perpetrated on the American public.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is far from happening. Too many judges and politicians and bureauracrats on the take.

30 years, and already he's come to his senses. Quick thinker.

Yeah, I understand theft continues even though cops try to catch thieves. Same with murder. Well, rape, fraud, violence and kidnapping too.

Better admit failure and legalize all crimes.

Makes good druggie sense.

The more I read the more I hear about cops that are saying the War on Drugs is fundamentally unwinnable. This is a free, capitalist democracy after all, and when demand for something is as high as it is for psychoactive chemicals, markets are created that route around little annoyances like federal and state government prohibition.

The Puritan, gut-reaction to drugs in this country is overwhelming at time. Me, I fancy myself a pragmatist, and when we pour so much of our national resources into something for so long that shows no sign of decisive results, I think we need to get out of it, cut our losses, and go back to the drawing board.

Must be a George Soros plant or a closet dope head. Nothing else would explain why a brave officer would state such opinions when he spent 30 years of his life dodging bullets from deranged hippies and violent coke heads.

While spending what Mr. Cole estimates to be $69 billion per year in law enforcement and prison costs for drug offenders

Those Tomahawk cruise missiles only cost about a half million each. For what we are wasting on the drug war, we could buy an extra 138,000 cruise missiles each year. Those would be handy for a first strike on North Korea.

Wow, that would pay for a lot of re-hab with a nice refund to the taxpayers left over.

"The war on drugs was, is and always will be a dismal failure," said Mr. Cole yesterday to a meeting of the Fairhaven Rotary Club.

This is no secret or breaking news. Everyone in law enforcement has known this for 15 years or more....

Slow work day?

Good for Mr Cole-he is right

We need to legalize most of it, anything demonstrably no more harmful than booze on the same basis as booze, and take all the money out of the whole deal. I don't see how you can legalize the Jeckyl/Hyde formulas like PCP, crack, or LSD. In areas in which PCP is abundant, it's basically the ultimate answer and solution to every sort of heinous and unbelievable crime for which there is no obvious motive or rationale.
