Cops could arrive at the wrong address, or the informant could give the cops wrong information, or anyone else could make a mistake and then, a citizen could lose his life on a drug bust.

That's happened in the past, and every time it does happen again, the stoners and druggies wave the bloody shirt and put the blame solely on the police.

I'm trying to square it away - I want to destroy the druggies, stoners, and those who would steal more lives into the haze of drugs, but, we've got to minimize collateral damage. I don't know how - there is no perfection in this world.

Interesting. You want to "destroy" those who would "steal more lives" into the haze of drugs. Sounds kind of like killing abortionists, except that abortionists kill others while druggies only kill themselves, if they kill anyone at all.

I can assume you are consistent and want to destroy everyone who consumes and sells alcohol, correct?

I don't blame the police completely either; it's the system that allows for these unfortunate incidents to occur almost on a daily basis.

The present system says that given the choice of allowing a druggie to flush his pot down the toilet or startling an innocent citizen with a dynamic entry, the choice should be the latter.

I'm willing to allow the druggies to flush their dope if that means to put an end to dynamic entries under the excuse of a drug bust.

If a big-time drug dealer tries to flush dope down the toilet, the evidence will be too overwhelming to disapper from his toilet bowl and sewage pipes.

If cops suspects that a drug dealer has tried to tamper with evidence using the toilet, then his toitet bowl should be removed and the sewage pipes examined for evidence.

I seriously doubt that major drug evidence can be flushed down the toilet, and that seems a common excuse for these dynamic entries.

Before the War on Drugs, people tried to destroy evidence all the time; for example, throwing a an incriminating document into a fireplace while the cops were knocking at the door; nevertheless, dynamic entries were not that common. . . a man's house was his castle.

Me, I want to smash the bloodthirsty kulaks, those hoarding tightfists of the countryside, without harming the Revolution or future harvests. It is a tight balance to walk! All this requires a lot of nuanced killing and a thoughtful extermination protocol.
