Trying to combat drug addiction through policing has been proven ineffective time and time again. You may want to rethink that one.
Came to say this! Drug addicts need help, not jail. Sure, if they commit a crime police should be involved, but it’s not going to cure their addiction!
Doing drugs is a crime tho.
Being this stupid should be illegal.
So was giving shelter to undesirables in Nazi Germany. Laws are not inherently moral.
So is what the kids are doing. So...?
Also the cops handing out traffic tickets, and the cops doing narcotics investigations are different people.
If you arrest the users they'll give up the dealers
That's policing 101
FTFY
Treat it like the public health issue it is, not something to involve the judicial/carceral systems
Arresting drug addicts in the war on drugs is part of how the US ended up with 25% of the world's prison population. End result? Same amount of drugs.
Criminalizing drug use does literally nothing except lead to the death of democracy.
Your percentage is off.
Recent sources put US prison population at ~2 million, with about that much under other supervision conditions.
US population is at ~342.75 million people.
Good call, got some wires crossed. The US contributes to 25% of the entire global prison population
You're stupid
I want you to know that, but I want you to feel it, where it really counts
You're a shitty person because of your stupidity
You could just be stupid, but you're that awful combination of stupid and shitty
And is ineffective. Didn’t you watch The Wire?
No I watched breaking bad
They went after the one drug user (badger) and eventually it led all the way up to the Heisenberg guy
dumbest comments I’ve seen all day are all from you
I’ve had this user tagged as “anti-science troll” for ages.
Last time was from just a comment chain under a post but it was just as bad as this whole thing.
I was just thinking the same thing.
The farther down this thread I go the dumber they get
I'm just amazed how many people are on the side of the drug addicts
It's almost like drug addicts are still people who deserve to be treated like people. Throwing them in jail and subjecting them to police brutality does not help anyone except the fake numbers game of the police. If you really want to help people with addictions you have to be willing to work with them and treat the problems at the source rather than resort to punitive measures for no reasons.
addicts need help not prison
Do you not remember his name?
Say my name
Mr. White?
SCIENCE! YEAH!
Ya Heisenberg
That widely known to not work that way.
Ok bootlicker
