POLICE SHOULD CRACK DOWN ON DRUG DEALERS

In response to It's Your Turn, Aug. 14, Nunavut News/North: Should police 
do more to arrest street level drug dealers?

Yes. I believe police could do a lot better to arrest drug dealers. I was 
born and raised in a small community and I have seen people dealing drugs a 
lot my whole life.

I have friends and family members who smoke drugs and aren't finishing 
school. They smoke mostly all day when they can afford it when other kids 
at school their age are learning.

I think that the cops should do something about it, not just know about it 
because it is also a problem in my community.

It seems like all they want to do is smoke drugs.
