CONSTABLE GIVING FALSE HOPE

Editor:

As a retired police officer I was dismayed, but not surprised, that my
colleague RCMP Constable Richards counsels patience to 'win' the war
on drugs.

He and I know that every dealer busted and every grow-ops busted is
quickly replaced. This has been going on in the States for over 35
years.  We have spent a trillion dollars and arrested 36 million
people (like arresting the entire country of Canada) and still drugs
are cheaper, stronger and easy for our kids to buy.

Patience?

Stop giving the citizens false hope, Cst. Richards.
