FAILED DRUG WAR

We shouldn't expect any changes from law enforcement, just look at the 
Dallas fake drug scandal.

The drug war has allowed law enforcement to be unaccountable and operating 
like uncontrollable military tyrants.

The Bill of Rights is apparently void where prohibited.

Americans continue to allow this type of failed policy to exist year after 
year.

At what point do we admit that our drug war is a failed, fraudulent policy 
and move towards social and healthcare solutions that actually work and 
leave our society in much better shape? Another 30 years? Prohibition, it's 
worse than we all remember.
