Ahhh, another WOD thug bites the dust. It's a good thing.

I hope the people he falsely accused sue his ass off.

The undercover officer who ran a controversial drug investigation in Tulia four years ago was indicted Thursday on charges of lying under oath during recent hearings to determine if the convictions he obtained were legitimate.

The War On Some Drugs continues to stain law enforcement. It must be ended.

Mark Furman is a racist! He planted the glove! He lied under oath, trust me!

Hey, it worked for OJ.

Just one question. One. After theses arrests, did the drug problem in Tulia go away?

That doesn't fly with me, I know OJ is guilty as all hell.

From what I read about this fiasco, there wasn't a drug problem in Tulia to begin with.

"The War On Some Drugs continues to stain law enforcement."

Actually it was a crocked cop. The war on drugs is responsible for soggy Corn Flakes, lousy sit-coms, reduced fat foods and global warming but the crooked cop is responsibile for himself.

And spare me the tired old theme about he was lured by the profit. Some of our G.I.s were lured by millions of dollars in cash and went bad...no dope involved.

Drug law enforcement seems to get more than its share of crooked cops.

Says who?

And spare me the tired old theme about he was lured by the profit.

Who said he was?

Some of our G.I.s were lured by millions of dollars in cash and went bad...no dope involved.

Who said drugs were the only area in which there was money to be crookedly gained? Lotta straw men being beaten here.

But straw men are the stuff your threads are made of. A crooked cop is a crooked cop, nothing more.

How about praise and promotions? The WOD is lost. It has ruined law enforcement. We could double law enforcement resources without raising costs by ending the wasted WOD efforts. Many good cops waste time on drug cases.

Of course the war on drugs is lost. Just this morning I read the headlines in the paper, "War Over".

Then I work up, made some coffee and read the real newspaper. Sorry, dope is still illegal, the war is still on going and very few people really care.

So you're capable of unsupported claims as well as battling straw men. Very impressive.

A crooked cop is a crooked cop, nothing more.

Crooked cops gravitating toward drug work is something more.

That the War On Some Drugs continues to be fought in no way implies that it isn't lost.

Yes, yours, in post #7.

The war on drugs has been lost.

A war is lost when it produces no clear gains and substantial collateral damage---such as deaths of innocents in drug-turf wars; deaths of users due to impurities or unexpectedly high potencies; enrichment of criminals; corruption of the justice system by enriched criminals; and lessened respect for the law in general.

Hate to tell you this Baghdad Bob but your dope is still illegal, the war on drugs is still in full swing and except for a handful of libertarians no one really cares in this country.

It's not my victory but that of the dealers who have collected the exorbitant profits made possible by the War On Some Drugs (just as bootleggers did during Prohibition).

Wow, that's neat.

See, just like the soggy Corn Flakes dude. The war on drugs is responsible for all kinds of things...hey, maybe it's responsibile for dope still being illegal also.

Bummer dude.

"Nonresponsive. Imagine that."

Of course, these threads are all nonresponsive. The same thing posted every day and absolutely nothing changes...each and every morning the war on drugs is still going on and dope is still illegal.

But hey, we can sit here all morning and throw all kinds of stuff back and forth...and nothing will change.
