Don’t do drugs or drug related offenses. Don’t burgle, cheat, rob or steal. Don’t commit aggravated assault, rape, murder, or any other violent crime. The original thread was whining about the large numbers of blacks imprisoned on drug related charges. I’m simply pointing out that it’s no one’s fault but their own. Don’t do drugs. These are all things that loving parentS teach their children. The shame is on the black poverty pimp $$$ industry and those enabling the government plantation to exist.
That is all true, but I don’t see why the EPA, Post Office and stuff need machine guns and SWAT teams and I don’t see why small rural towns need MRAP vehicles.
WAY outside the big cities, I mean
NOT EVERYONE GETTING RAIDED IS COMMITTING ANY CRIME AT ALL. Explain that? And a great many have such minor offenses as being accused of over fishing.
Even for those who have committed an offense, this is the United States of America, not North Korea. Even with the guilty, LE shouldn’t be allowed to just behave and use whatever tactics they want.
Cops are too damned eager to smash through a house because it is just such great fun. Seriously, I just pointed out they were so eager that they raided a family over TEA leaves.
I’m not for drugs in any way shape or form. That doesn’t mean that I’m thing going to be on the side of cops doing whatever they want to fight drugs. It isn’t an “either/or” situation. One can believe in drug enforcement, and restraint by LE while doing it.
