Doesn't anybody understand that this is war? These drug dealers are raining death and destruction upon our young people, and we are worried about their civil liberties. When will the do-gooders and the civil liberty mob understand what is happening out in the real world? When they have a member of their own family with an addiction problem? This persecution of our police officers is nonsense -- or am I just a lone voice out in the wilderness? Robert Barg Coquitlam - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
