Do you have any idea how much harm a drug fueled person can do? You need to work with law enforcement for a week - thatl open your eyes. They are abusive, almost indestructible and hard to control. They constantly infringe of other peoples rights.
Watch the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar. How that country is in ruins over drugs
Based on these comments, if you were to run for president and allowed these things to happen, you'd be the sole cause of an entire countries self destruction.
Of course I know what a drug fueled person is capable, I was trained by a ex-NYC homicide detective in martial arts and he has given me more than a handful of knowledge about drugs.
What you are saying is confirming my point. The war on drugs is a colossal failure. It was lost before it started. You are not going to get rid of drugs, and you are not going to get rid of people's desire to get something to screw them up. If you really have a problem with violence get rid of alcohol, with all the domestic abuse, dwi deaths, violence against cops. Wait, we tried that during prohibition and it was a colossal failure as well. It empowered Al Capone just like the war on drugs had empowered Pablo Escobar.
If the war on drugs works, and 1.5 trillion+ was spent over the last 4 decades, then why is heroin becoming a crisis here in NY? Drugs still a crisis all across the country? Criminal drug dealing gangs prospering from coast to coast? Because the war on drugs dont work, it only creates a black market and creates more Pablo Escobars.
You can put 1.5 trillion on the war on drugs budget for 2016 alone, and it will be a colossal failure and a waste of tax dollars. How do I know? You cant even keep drugs out of prisons, they are loaded with hard core drugs.
Drugs is a medical condition, and a medical problem that needs to be dealt with by doctors and for peoples who seek help. Its not a criminal problem.
If you really are concerned about the safety of cops, end the war on drugs.
If your worried about the safety of citizens, support the 2nd Amendment and open carry laws. The only defense is self defense. Its an ugly world out there.
Based on these comments, if you were to run for president and allowed these things to happen, you'd be the sole cause of an entire countries self destruction.
If I was president, Id be more succesful with improving the situation than any president since the very beginning with Nixon and thats a guarantee. Ill make a much better situation for the police, I would make life so much better for them they wouldnt believe it.
Look at Portugal, in 10 years after decriminilation drug use decreased by 50%
