If you arrest the users they'll give up the dealers

That's policing 101

[-] chunk6235@piefed.social 46 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

That's copaganda 101

FTFY

Treat it like the public health issue it is, not something to involve the judicial/carceral systems

[-] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 28 points 11 hours ago

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

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.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago

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.

[-] rockSlayer 5 points 10 hours ago

Good call, got some wires crossed. The US contributes to 25% of the entire global prison population

And is ineffective. Didn’t you watch The Wire?

[-] Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] dektep@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

dumbest comments I’ve seen all day are all from you

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

I was just thinking the same thing.

The farther down this thread I go the dumber they get

[-] Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

I'm just amazed how many people are on the side of the drug addicts

[-] sharkteethsandwich@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 10 hours ago

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.

[-] dektep@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

addicts need help not prison

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

No no no. This is just building a prison pipeline.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

That widely known to not work that way.
