When cops gang up, they are worse than gangs. Breaking up and limiting SWATS, in addition to tightly restricting their use, would end a great deal of gangland style brutality from our police forces. As long as the drug war and other “wars on” passions are a part of our national neurosis, stupid violence from out-of-control police will continue, but there are things states and communities can do to improve matters.

Police state tactics are happening and have little to do with “war on drugs”. Nobody supports SWAT team tactics to pick up a suburban small-time dealer.

But the idea that drugs should be legal should be a non-starter. It is asinine.
