DRUG WAR IS JUST JOB PROGRAM FOR SOME
Sheila Polk forget to mention what most police officers consider to
the the greatest danger of marijuana in her recent editorial ( The
Arizona Republic's 'My Turn,' evtnow.com/5uw, Sept. 13 ).
Legalize marijuana and next thing you will be ending the "War on
Drugs", which is basically a full employment jobs program for cops.
According to Federal statistics over 51 percent of the people in
prison are there for victimless drug war crimes. Some statistics say
over two thirds of the people in American prisons are there for
victimless drug war crimes.
End the "War on Drugs" and the hundreds of thousands of cops,
prosecutors, judges, public defenders, probation officers and prisons
guards who have high paying jobs throwing people in prison for
victimless drug war crimes will be out of work.
Now that's one incredibly dangerous thing about legalizing marijuana
from a cops view point.
